I don't have the rifle yet and am attempting to get the blocks in advance. Rifle may be here by Friday.
I want to put my Lyman STS on the 1885 Traditional Hunter. I have a friend that just did this, but he use blocks such that the scope is tipped forward a bit to give him as much elevation adjustment as possible I'm thinking I prefer mounting the scope level so the blocks are parallel.
Does anyone here know what the front and rear block heights need to be to make a level mounting base? Objective on an STS is 1.75".
I do have an email into Steve Earle as I'll be buying his blocks. But he's recently moved and I suspect he's not looking at email every day as he gets reorganized at his new home/shop.
Thanks.
