17 Rem Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 What scope mounting options are there for a Quadlite, other than the ugly great long rail intended for Weaver rings? Are any bases which take Leupold-type 'turn in' rings available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I,ve got the butt ugly full length one on mine marv. We have a quadlite sporter in the shop at the moment however. I,ll check whats on that next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehole Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 The usual fitments are two piece weaver fittings that are low profile.Suggest you contact RPA or HPS precision and I am sure they will be able to offer all the choices. Believe me! one piece picatinny fitting is better but a little high if your action is in a sporter stock? If you acquire some low two piece base fittings make sure when fitting you push each base forward and keep pressure either to the left or right bias as you tighten the bases down this will ensure you will have them as straight as possible in relation to the action.The reason for this is that there is always play between the screw holes in the bases and their screws.If you fit them awkwardly then your scope may start off centre.I know this is being fussy but you dont have to be much out as a few thou here can be a million miles out down range and you will be asking your scope to make up the error?cheers Onehole.

SteveW Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 One piece rail is superior on all counts Hi 17 Rem Totally agree with Andy, allows so much more adjustment with different scopes and for individual setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Rem Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Thanks for the replies so far. The rail idea is all well and good if you want to mount a scope with a large objective, but I don't. My comb isn't particularly low, it's a McMillan Sako Varmint style stock. It appears that two bases intended for the front of a Remington 700 action would do the job. Anyone got an RPA so equipped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehole Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 17 REM As i said in my post contact RPA or HPS they will have low profile weaver bases for your RPA.I have them on mine and with the correct rings you can get a very low profile set up.Onehole.
