    Scope Mounting Options for Winchester Model 70 Featherweight

    Hi Team,

    I've got a 223 Winchester Model 70 Featherweight made in the early 2000's.
    Currently have steel Burris bases and rings and a Leupold FXII 4x33.

    The Burris is solid and great quality, but is unnecessarily heavy and high for the small 4x33 scope. You can see the large gap between the scope objective and the barrel.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a low-weight and low-height mounting option?

    Thanks!
