NF SHV on long action PH3

[Brushcreekbill]

Got a new seekins PH3 that I’d like to mount a scope to. I got a nightforce Shv in the mail yesterday. With the split pic rail it looks like it may not have enough room to mount properly.

I just had an old set of 1” rings as a mockup but I get my 30mm NF rings in Monday. So I’ll know more then.

Has anyone successfully mounted a 3-10x42 SHV on the new seekins rifle? Looks like it could be close depending on the rings used

Get thinner rings?

I have mounted that scope on a rem 700 long action footprint gun, and it’s a very temperamental setup, but works. Ring width and ring height have to be just right. I tried seekins lows and the spacing worked but the the scope objective where it starts to flare out from 30mm hit the rail. Warne mountain tech lows are what I tried next and they worked as their “low” is higher than seekins. You don’t get much/any adjustability but where the scope landed was fine. Wish NF made that scope even a half inch longer as it would make mounting it a lot easier.
