Trying to attach a nice old Unertl to a 1965 Rem. 700.
The scope is the external adjustment type, 3/8" dovetail grooves with thumbscrews. This is not one of those looong target scopes where the objective has to mounted to the barrel, and the action is pretty long on this rifle (7 mag) so I want to mount the scope to both ends of the receiver only.
I found these target bases at Brownell's:

The "contoured bottom radius" on these bases might fit the front of my receiver, but it's sure not going to fit the (flat) back of the receiver, and the front and back are at different heights (0.15"?). Also, these bases "do not fit Redfield external adjustment scopes." Would they fit Unertl ext adj scopes?
Should I get a pair and have them machined to fit, or look somewhere else?
Thanks
