Hi all, I just bought a Nightforce 12-42x56 Benchrest Scope and could use some scope ring advice. It has a 30 mm Tube.
I'll be mounting it on a Savage 12 BR 6mm BR Norma with a 20 MOA Picatinny Rail. I'll be shooting it in International Benchrest Shooters 600 & 1000 Yd matches.
I have to watch the guns weight a little, but have at least 2 lbs of wiggle room (I know rings won't weigh this much). I have Burris Xtreme 30 mm 6-Screw on my NF NXS 8-32x56 on my 50 BMG Rifle, but 6-screw are a bit of overkill on a 6 mm.
I want to keep the scope as low as possible, but need to make sure the 56 mm bell clears the barrel. The parallax adjustment is on the front of this scope so I must keep it interference free.
1- What brand of rings would you guys suggest (4 Screw preferred)?
2- What height rings would you suggest?
I know I can buy NF Titanium Rings, but at $150+ a set, they are a bit overpriced, given the limited recoil of this rifle setup. I want reliable rings, that I won't have to lap, if possible.
Thanks All. all, I just bought a Nightforce 12-42x56 Benchrest Scope and could use some scope ring advice. It has a 30 mm Tube.
