I had a Nikon scope with leupold bases on the gun mentioned above. In February I bought a nightforce 20 moa picatinny rail for a short action Winchester model 70. Due to not having a lot of time or ambition to mount the new base and scope, I finally unmounted the old scope and bases tonight.
I went to test fit the new rail and quickly realized that the holes don't line up. I thought I did enough research prior to buying the rail to avoid this issue but I didn't.
I did read a review that on the original .22-250 coyote, not the the "lite", that Winchester used a wssm action instead of a short action.
Can anyone verify that a wssm action was used on this gun before I blow some more money? Im hoping my local gun shop will still exchange the base despite purchasing it February.
