Winchester Leupold Scope Mount Bases Question

[ludville1]

I just ordered a new Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Stainless in .264 Win. mag. For the Leupold Dual Dovetail RVF Matte 2 pc. bases, is this the Model 70 Long Action bases (54241) that I need? There is also a Classic Featherweight listed with a different part number (50046). Thinking that the Classic Featherweight is a different gun? Thanks in advance.

I can't answer your question but is it possible one set is "stainless" in color and the other part number is blued in color? Both Featherweights (stainless and standard (classic)) come in .264 Win Mag

 

[ludville1]

No, both are matte (blued).

What scope are you thinking of mounting on it?

I am thinking a Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x 50mm Fire Dot Twilight Hunter.

Good choice.
