I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the holes should be located on a factory drilled and tapped MKII receiver. There are 3, 2 in front of the ejection port and one to the rear. It looks like I could just straddle the ejection port evenly with the rear and middle screw, but would like some confirmation that this is how ruger did it. I am mounting a Weigand base and need to do my own drilling and tapping.
Not of any relevance, but I converted the gun to 17 Mach2. I bought a 17 cal barrel blank from Brownell's, cut it to 5 or 6 inches, tapered it, threaded it, milled the feed ramp, chambered it with a Manson reamer, machined, knurled, and welded a weight on the the back of the bolt to account for the extra power, and installed a 1911 dovetail front sight blank, then bead blasted and blued the gun. Now its getting a Leupold 2x long eye relief scope on the Weigand mount and Burris Zee rings. Should be pretty sweet when I'm done
 
Sounds pretty wild...post some pics!

I'll take some measurements and post them tonight.
