Proof elevation and Leupold vx5hd reco

[Buster1]

Hi,

I just bought a proof elevation in 308 and a Leupold vx5hd 44mm scope. Can anyone recommend a mount for me? Leupold site doesn't have proof on their search tool. The rifle has a rail, so I suppose I'm mostly interested in height.

Thx

American Rifle Co. 30mm low M-Brace. Xlow would even work with the 44mm, most likely. I know XLow works with that scope on a waypoint. Go to their site and use his “penny test” and you’ll know for sure. Pricey but the only rings I use anymore after having multiple issues with other companies. 2 screws, 55 in/lbs simple and very effective.

Nice rifle, btw…just got same one in 7PRC and using lows for a 50mm objective

Edit: customer service is also amazing. If you get the rings and they don’t fit as you’d like, you can swap them out for different heights without issue. I’ve had to do this when I didn’t have scope and had to take educated guess. But, the penny test is hard to beat if you have scope in hand.

Appreciate the reply! Just the rings needed there, right?

Also, is there any reason these (from Leupold) wouldn't work? I'm guessing the one's you reference are just considered to be stronger?

I like my warne mountain tech rings. Nightforce also has a good set.

Yeah would just need rings from ARC for your pic rail. A lot of rings will certainly work well. I just like the robust and simple rings from ARC. Less screws equals less potential for stuff to come loose…IMO

Weaver rings typically do not fit on picatinny rails.
