Hello ladies and gentlemen, I have a rifle in 30-06 my Grandfather built from an Angentine Mauser with a 28" barrel that I want to mount a scope worthy of the rifle on top of. Right now, I have a cheap Tasco 4-12 power that I put on a couple of decades ago before I knew anything about scopes. I'm looking in the $400-$550 range at the maximum power of 10x-14x or so. Since it's a long action and it doesn't (and won't) have a picitinny rail, the scope will need to be rather long as well. I'm unfamiliar with scopes that fit long action rifles and need some help. I measured the outside of the scope rings mounted presently and it's right at 5 1/2" between them. I'm guessing to be able to get proper eye relief, I will need at least 6" of scope body to mount to the rings...maybe more. Got any suggestions?
