[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1339800, member: 87243"] We have two 98 Mausers, an 8mm-06 and a 6.5x55, one has a 1 piece Burris base with Redfield rings and the other has a 2 piece Warn base with Burris signature rings, and the Warn base had to be modified slightly for bolt clearance, but it's nothing that about a minute with a belt sander won't fix. As far as clearance goes, my father has a Ruger 300 win mag sporter rifle with a Redfield 3-9, and the clearance was less than paper thickness, dust pieces would get stuck in there, but there was clearance, and in 20 years nothing ever happened, and I know that rifle had more recoil than yours, he was shooting 190 grain pills going fast in an 8.5 lb rifle, no brake. But, that was just his experience, with probably a lighter scope, and that was with Ruger rings. I personally have no experience with the Leupold 1 piece set ups. [/QUOTE]
