Guys,
I currently run a 300 wm tikka super light w talleys and a 14x vx3i cds. I’m ordering a nsx 5.5-22x50 to have the piece of mind of a bulletproof scope and reliable dialing turrets. A lot of $ is invested in hunting trips out west and in 2 years Alaska. I feel it’s worth the extra $ to have a scope I have 100% confidence in.
That being said I don’t shoot extreme long ranges, but do have access to where I can shoot to about 550 yards. I would love to get this gun set up to confidently do that on the range and possibly hunting as well in the rt conditions.
Looks like I have couple ways I could mount:
- Direct mount like the tally or Hawkins hybrids (which look pretty beefy)
- Mount a rail and set of quality rings
I like the idea of a rail and rings like the nightforce w a single mount screw. Seems like I could easily take off the scope and put on another rifle w same rail if wanted/needed to very quickly (Seen others doing this is what gave me the idea). I’d like to keep the scope as low as possible, to avoid having to add something to get decent cheak weld. At end of the day I want something rock solid, that takes full advantage of the scopes reliability. What is everyone’s thoughts and opinions on brands and heights?
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback
