[QUOTE="gaseous maximus, post: 2055459, member: 13886"] Respectfully, If You have the weaver rings, which bolt directly to the receiver, there isn't a Left or right side or a front or rear, either ring can be turned in either direction. Personally, I don't like see throughs. They are not as stable as lower mounts, but my main objection to them is, that I have seen some Nasty cuts caused by them. The shooter in trying to use the iron sight, crawls the stock. and the lower half circle of the rear bell, leaves a real nice cut and bruise, which bleeds like heck. For the rest of the day, it's hard to get real interested in hunting,with your shooting eye bloody and swollen shut. For the record, I am 70 also, but truthfully have had a lot of expereince with scopes, particularly, mounting them. Over the last few years, scopes have gotten shorter, and the bells have gotten larger and longer. This makes for some difficult situations. Some scopes are not very adaptable to some rifles. Ideally a scope should be positioned as far forward as is comfortable with the clothes, you'll be wearing when using it. Of course shooting position is also important. Sorry to go off chasing rabbits. Brownells. com or toll free 1-800-741-0015. cat. no. 65, pages 257- 260 has weaver products which should solve your problem. If not, Ask to speak to a tech at the same toll free no. They have had some pretty good gunsmiths working there, including Reid Coffield, at one time. [/QUOTE]
