Hello. I have a .240 mag Weatherby Vanguard2 that I'm having trouble finding the correct scope base mounts. When I picked the gun up at the gun shop that i bought the gun from i seen they had scope mounts and rings so i asked for what i needed to mount my scope. I was told that the weatherby takes the same base mounts as any Remington model 700 would take and I'm finding out that it ain't so. They gave me weaver base mounts part# 48035 and part #48036 and the part # for the rings is 49047 weaver. The problem i'm having is that when i mount the rings they are to far apart for the scope to fit down into. The rear base mount has a flat bottom and top side has a groove that the screw would fit in to mount the ring to the base. this mount is a little longer than the front mount and the groove is off set toward the front of the gun but the front base mount bottom is curved a little on the bottom to fit the barrel but is not long enough to have enough off set toward the rear of the gun to put the rings close enough together for the scope to fit so i'm pretty sure i don't have the right mounts for the gun. The gun shop has a pretty big selection of weaver mount but don't know which base mounts i need. Does any body know what mounts i need or even better a weaver part# for what i need?..And if weaver mounts won't work what kind of mounts do i need with maybe a part # so I can be sure to get the right mounts?...Thanks for your time and any help
