Stevens 200 Long Action Base Info. FYI
« on: December 05, 2009, 11:03:33 AM »
I got my youngest son a 200 .270 for Christmas and was trying to get a Prostaff 3x9x40 mounted on it before a hunt next weekend (early CHRISTmas present).

After several trips to Academy and Gander, I ended up with Gander's Guide Gear Weaver-style 2 peice extended base #402.   They didn't have the real Weaver bases so I had to pay 3x more for the store brand.  Weaver's $4.99 ea.  Guide Gear $14.99 ea.   >:(

These were the only bases I could find to fit the long action with the Nikon scope.

While the scope clears the action, I probably should have gone with the taller rings. 

Thought I'd share and hope to save someone else a lot of leg work and frustration.
