Would it be possible to have a gunsmith drill and tap a piece of picatinny rail to the top of the receiver just to widen the array of scope ring mounting options for the rifle?
I realize that there is a 11mm to picatinny adapter but some of them have barrel droop compensation machined into them and they also add height to the receiver and I would like to keep the scope as close to the barrel as possible. I have a tactical base and rings on my .22-250 M70 heavy varmint rifle I got from Leupold and there terrific they use torx head screws vs. Allen or hex which is nice to plus they make the gun look like a serious sniper rifle which I like
