I just got a 200 in .223. I picked the standard 2 piece Leupold base and standard medium height rings (both labeled for Savage 10). When I put the rear piece on, I couldn't raise the bolt handle up far enough to cycle the action. It hit the clamps (sorry, don't know the tech term) that hold the rear ring in place. In a pinch, I flipped it around so that the clamps were facing the front rings. It didn't interfere with loading the ammo, and the rings didn't line up with the turrets, so I tighted it down and went shooting.
Did I miss something? Should it have mounted the normal way?
Could mounting it backwards possibly damage the scope? I really can't see how it would, but a little perplexed as to why its working out this way.
Thanks!
