Title: Mossberg 817 - 17HMR
Post by: MADMAX on June 18, 2020, 06:06:12 AM: Im looking to put a scope on a little 17 I picked up
bought a Simmons 22mag rimfire scope
went to mount and the dovetail bases are way to big that are already installed
tried a couple sets of 1 inch rings I had already and no joy
My question is what bases and rings should I get for a 1-inch scope ?
or should I get a rail ?
thanks guys

I'm not sure about bases for that model.
