I think I have an older pre-74? Weaver-- and Weaver rings and 2-pc. bases. When I bought this .220Swift about 2 months ago, from Jay Schacter"s Vintage gunshop in GR- I asked the gunsmith (Kevin Duchene) about a used Unertl-- he had one, but told me that to mount on my M70 .220Swift, it would have to be "adapted to take the larger front bell, and moved forward. Yes, I thought about using a Buehler one pc. base and either Buehler or Leupold 1" rings-- but I got a good deal on the older Weaver, with the 2 pc. bases and rings-- Just for the "heck of it", I'll survey the ebay and other internet sales web sites, and see if I can find an identical set of Weaver bases and rings for sale, with pictures , for reference.

FWIW, I still have the Buehler one-piece mount base that I bought from a gentleman from TX-- with box and instructions, If I should ever decide I do not need it, I'll list it for sale for the same price I paid him for it--Not sure yet. Thanks for the input. RWTF
