I was REALLY liking those scopes at first, but the lack of adjustment due to the 1' tube has kind of steered me away from them. The glass on those Zeiss scopes sure are clear though.
I should also clarify i want the scope to have a very basic reticle, not looking to do holdover shots.

Like torquing them to proper specs?
Just follow the directions on the package and you'll be fine.

Not in my experience, which I admit is limited. But I did put a 6-24 on a big recoiling rifle once and I always torque the hardware to spec. I ended up using Scotch Coat, which is something Ross Sefreid reccomended to me at the SHOT Show and that worked, but up til then the scope was slipping under recoil. This exercise was only done to shoot a buddy's 300 Win Mag at 600 or so yards for fun and it was right before the SHOT Show that we were messing with it by chance.

ive had my razor hd on my 300 rum for close to 100 rounds now with no movement. Before that it was a 6-24 pst. I even put that pst on my 375 hh for load development with no movement. Rings have been Burris xtr, warne maxima, and vortex pmr

We used Redfields or Burris Zee (not the Signature Zee), just wanted to give the guy a heads up and not have him struggle through what we did.

I appreciate the advice. My knowledge of the mounting process is definitely limited, but i dont plan on skimping on the rings. the gun does have a 20 MOA weaver rail on it, which i'm sure will help in that department.

Burris Signature Zees will grip the scope, any scope, plenty tight enough and they are inexpensive.
BULLBLASTER:
With a rail you can really use any of the tactical style rings. I really like the warne maxima steel rings. They are solid and lightweight.
As for the reticle I would reccomend the moar reticle in the nf as it is not too busy and can only benefit you.
True moa reticles are a god send. Unless your a mil guy.... Then your beyond help :chuckle:
Karl Blanchard:
Lap your rings, a little blue lock tite, and tighten to specs and you will be fine. What kind of ranges are you wanting to shoot? Can't go wrong with Zeiss, NF, Leupold, Sightron, or any other top shelf glass in my opinion. Comes down to what features and specs you want.

A MOA reticle and having a MOA reticle in my Razor 85 30WA eyepiece made short work of dealing with shifting winds and getting on target with rockchucks. No fuss, no muss with dialing anything, just count dots and hold off on a second shot. Really makes it nice when targets are few and far between, which many of the colonies I shoot only offer five or six targets in a morning's shoot. The only short coming is that I only have a couple scopes w/MOA reticle. But I really don't need it for the shorter range stuff.
