i bought a superlight for my son and i am having trouble matching a scope base to it. does anyone know what model works on this rifle? i dont want to take the one off of my handi to try it. i have the synthetic stainless 243 and it is shooting too good to mess with right now !!! thanks for the replies -- icthus

You can either get the standard or Ultra base from H&R or get a Weaver 82 which only has 2 cross slots and the rear slot is about an inch forward of the rear slot on the H&R bases which isn't ideal. As far as I know, the Weaver #82 is the only aftermarket base made for them.

You're welcome! It's been said that we learn more from listening than speaking, so lurking is good! :wink:
