tarawa,
I'm waiting on a set of the German MAK rings. In the interim I have used a set of Weaver base adapters with good success. On the 45-70 I installed a Weaver 1.5 (steel tube scope) with a Post crosshair. Its a little higher than I like but I must admit it adds some needed weight to the gun and shoots great. At 50 yards the Remington 405 grain factory loads are cloverleaf to point of aim. I have shot over 100 rounds through the 45-70 and it has performed better than I could have expected.
I picked up the 30-06 Friday and also mounted a scope using the Weaver Base adapters. The only scope I had to try out is a Leupold 3X-9X with a 40mm objective. The scope looks big on the gun but again the added weight seems to make it point better. If the 30-06 performs as well as the 45-70 I feel that I have certainly gotten my moneys worth. I'll try to post pictures of the pair in a few days.
To all of the members on this forum let me extend my thanks for your invaluable input. I have spent countless hours reading post, your honest opinions and years of experience has been a great source of information.
