Thank you PhysDoc, Im going to the gun shop to look through screws today on lunch and will bring the base to check the length.

The holes for the Redfield are positioned so that if my 48 was whole it would hit the bolt handle. It happens that the base of the 48 I have, had the back machined off a little in its past so it looks like it will clear.


The Redfield does work fine but I sure do like the look of a 48 with a long slide on a gun.
