760 gamemaster scope mounting ?

[LEROYDOZOISJR]

i have one and i once had a wiever scope with a type of mound that screwed onto the top of the gun and the scope interlocked into the mount, i had to turn the scope 90* to remove the scope...

theres 2 different sets of mounting holes on the top of the gun, ive been told the gun is difficult to scope because it needs a long relief and that ill need a 1 piece scope rail instead of the 2 separate ones that u can buy from walmart/kmart since its a 3006

i can post pictures later, but if anyone has this type of rifle and can tell me what setup they have, itd be greatly appreciated !!!

I just use the Weaver 1 piece base and some cross slot rings. No issues, for me.

This one is a little extended. So it will allow you to push the scope forward a bit.

hmm, so i would start with the rail mentioned above or a 1 piece type, and then id get scope mounts that would work for the rail?

Or you look up the correct leupold mount and ringset in a blister pack from midway or another big internet supplier.

Yep. Another option would be the DNZ 1 piece system.

I have one here you can have. No screws though.

If the above mentioned posts do not help I can try to take some pics and ID my hardware for you.

Whatever base you buy Weaver,Leupold, Redfield etc. make sure its for a 760, not for 7600. The hole spacing is the same the screws are not. Early production 760's were not drilled and tapped by Rem. I don't know when they began drilling/tapping but they use a 6-48 screw. The 7600's use a 8-48 screw. If your gun is a real early one I would verify the screw size before ordering if your mounting yourself, if not any gunsmith "should" know the difference. You could go to a hardware store and get one of each and try it for fit.

Since you posted the screw size, I probably have some that will fit.

cool guys thankyou for the info. ive been on gun sites and they all tell me using a scope for this gun is pointless or too difficult to do so........

i have pictures of the mount that has been on the gun since my great great grandfather put it on.
