Buehler Scope Ring Install

[DeltaVictor]

Fellas, first off. I apologize if this subject has ever been posted about before. I am just looking for a point in the right direction. Here we go...

I have a Remington Model 742 that was passed down to me in the family. It been maintained very well over the years (i think it was bought new in the 70s). It has an old fixed power 4x32 Tasco scope on it and shoots and operates great. I want to use it for a reliable hunting rifle but it needed an upgrade in the scope department. I bought a Leupold VX-1, 3-9x40 for it.

It has a set of Buehler scope rings and mount on it. I really want to keep the mount and rings to keep that original look, but also have a better scope on her. My problem, I can't find literature on the Buehler mounting system anywhere! I just need a point in the right direction for instruction to how properly mount my new scope. I'm mechanically skilled and have the tools, just want to do it as the Buehler system was designed.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Consider calling Weatherby.Back in the day they were used on all of the Mark Vs.Chance of getting a old person like myself may be thin.Who will help you.
I think I still have one out there in the shop and will look to remind me before I can help you with instruction.I went to Leupolds to replace them years ago,due to the small screw in front always stripping the head.
I tried all over about 5-6 years ago to find these things to get that screw,attempting what you are.No luck.
I will look,I think I have a gloss Leupold out there as well if you decide to change it.Seem It was 7400,but I believe it's the same.
Pm me with phone number.

OK, try this...

Call Brownells, ask to speak to someone in the technical group. There are enough people there old enough to probably have btdt.
