Would you buy this scope?

Will the 3-18 fit well on a 2-piece base in a long action? I have Burris XTR base rails on my new Sauer 100 but just wondering if I should be planning to swap those bases out for a rail.

My SHV f1 is already within about 2mm of being all the way to the rear, for reference.

Ehhh. Not really. It’s a relatively new design.






Ground up design. Will take a bit.

Wouldn’t you just use the proven 6x erector and make a 2-12x?

Which scope bumpers would be best to pair with this scope? The 44 mm or 44mm Long?

Trying to have everything lined up so I can get in as much practice as possible before hunting season.

I emailed the Scope Bumper team with a link to the scope on S2H's page. I wanted to share their response here because I made a simple mistake that I could see a lot of others making as well. While the Objective Lens is 44mm, the Objective Outer Diameter is 52mm. So it looks like anyone interested in scope bumpers would need the 52mm size.

As for Long vs Regular, "Longs are only needed for certain ocular housings where the diopter adjustment ring is at the very end". When I look at the pictures of the scope, this appears to be the case and would require a Long bumper, but correct me if I interpreted that incorrectly.
