    Where to look?

    I'm wondering if any of you gents might have some insight on where I might be able to located an extended or one piece scope base for my wife's 7mm-08. The action is a Sako L579 so need something specific to that pattern and contour. So far I have struck out at the local shops so am continuing my search elsewhere. FWIW the rings are Warne Maximas and here is a picture of the base that needs to be longer so I can move the scope rearward in order for the missus to get a better field of view.

    Warne makes an extended base............905something if I remember. I had to have it for one of mine. Took a while to find it.

    Brownell's is where I'd start.

    I run into this *constantly* with my fat little cheeks, no neck and stubby arms. Always have fits getting scopes back far enough.
