I'm new and just joined here and I hope someone can help me.
I have my dad's old Westernfield 771a and I'm wanting to upgrade the scope. I need to have raised rings to clear. The existing bases and rings look like Weaver but they aren't the right size. I contacted Weaver, or RCBS and they said that they were made for a scope ring combo for that rifle only. The rifle was made by Hyme in Germany. Nothing else will fit. Has anyone come across this? Should I just have the rifle drilled and put different base on it?
Thanks for any info.
