I mistakenly posted this in the GD forum:

What groove diameter is used in these rifles? And is there a turn-in scope base (ie, Leupold, Burris, ets.) available for this small action? The local gun shop has one and I'm trying to decide how bad I need it!

  Ambrose,
  
  "The Model 799 weighs approximately 7 ? lb, with a 3-10x40 Elite 3200 riflescope installed. It uses a 20 inch .311 diameter barrel with a 1 in 9 ? inch twist. It's a well balanced rifle that features a brown laminated stock. It is based on the proven and strong Mauser action and has an overall length of 39 ? inches. Like most modern firearms, it comes drilled and tapped. Presently they build the 22 Hornet, 22-250, 222 and 223 Remington actions using this platform."
  
  Best.

  Thanks, nononsense. Does anybody but Weaver make scope bases for it?
