I submitted this question to Leupold last week and haven't heard anything back from them I have a customized Mauser 98 I want to mount a straight tube (30mm) scope on the gun. I'm using Warne med. quick detachable rings. The span from ring to ring is pretty long and it turns out the front ring is gripping the tube right where the obj. lense is oriented within the tube. I was advised to tighten the ring screws to 30 in./lb. I'm worried about the obj. lense during recoil. The gun is chambered to .358 Norma and is fairly light. The scope is mounted as far forward as possible. I do not want to use extension rings and will use a different scope and forget about the straight tube deal all together if need be. I am considering this set-up for a dangerous game hunt. What do you guys thinkA? Yea or Nay???
