Fellas,
I'm picking up a Savage model 220 bolt action 20ga next week. I've pretty much decided on going with either the Nikon Slug Hunter or the Leupold Utimateslam as my scope choice. I know the 220 takes the same bases as the Savage 110 as its the same long action, however I'm concerned about mounting the scope low enough and also having enough room to properly eject the spent shells. I really like the Nikon but its a moderately short tube and I'm worried that I'm going to have to use some type of one piece base, or crazy high off-set rings to mount it correctly.
For those of you that have, or have had the 220, what kind of scope did you have on it, and what base/rings did yo use??
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
