I have an old 111 30-06 flat top receiver, staggered feed blind mag,with a non-accu trigger. For years I had used the old Simmons scope that the rifle came with with no major problems. But as I am getting older and my vision is really starting to suffer I need to change out the scope just so I can see a bit better.
A close friend is sending me a Millet TS-1 scope that he he's had sitting in his safe for years 4-16 x 50. I figure that 50mm objective has to be a brighter picture then the old Simmons 3-9 x 40.
What I need to know is how tall of a 30mm ring do I need to make sure it clears and is comfortable to shoot? Can I use the original 2 pc base or should I up grade to the EGW 1 pc 0 moa base?
Thanks for the time and answers
