Which scope base does my '03 sporter need?

[Mike D]

Working on this 03 sporter. I trying to figure out what kind of scope base it was drilled and tapped for.

I'm assuming it is one-piece because of the single rear hole. The distance between the rear hole and the first front hole is approximately 4.09 in., exactly the same as the old Redfield on my 03A4 clone. The distance between the two front holes is about .85 in. I'm guessing I need some kind of Redfield or Buehler (I read that the holes line up). Do you guys have any ideas? Thanks, Mike

The Redfield base for the 1903 that Midway has looks like the holes would line up, but the rear hole on my receiver is on the front edge and the hole on the scope base is on the rear edge which would result in very little of the base on top of the rear of the receiver.

you need a Redfield base for the 1903 springfield. NOT a 1903A3.
the new Redfield bases are junk..find a red and white boxed one on Fleabay.
