Scope placement

[KMW1954]

On a Model 110 SA I have with a 20MOA factory rail I am using an Athlon Argos 10-40X56 scope along with Athlon rings. The problem I am facing is that I cannot move the scope back any further as it is already in the last grooves and the rings are just about all the way up to the turrets. Tube length behind the turrets is only 1.5"

Looking for a solution. Right now I feel too far forward on the stock. Almost stretching forward.

Canted rings. Point them back. Or put both rings on the front part of the scope. The Germans used to do that. I have the same scope on my Axis. And had the issue.

Get an offset mount (cantilever) scope mount & mount it backwards. They are traditionally made for AR15’s, but work in your situation.

Like this.

Your other option is moving BOTH scope rings to the front portion of the scope tube. In front of the turrets, as CoalCracker mentioned. That would allow plenty of back travel.

The Athlon Argos 10-40 is an oddly designed setup. Unfortunately, it calls for strange mounting most of the time.

exactly what it looks like

Mine now an 1 1/2'' back more after moving the rings.

Set like this would work well. With just the rear being cantilever. That way you can still maintain a wider ring gap for better holding. These are 1.25” which I think would be about perfect. But best do the math just in case.

Also looking at these.
The rings I use now are 1.05" high

If you can get away with 1” height, you might also look at this mount. It’s 7075 Billet Aluminum which is much stronger than 6061.

Dave, that is what I was linking to above, but for some reason it didn't attach.
