suggestions for rings/mount for vortex
« on: July 03, 2017, 08:45:47 AM »
I just got a new 6.5-20x50 viper and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for rings etc. I have some leupold rings and mounts but thought maybe something else would be better. Maybe the Burris rings?

I'm giving the Warne rings a try. The TPS rings and the rail are a little more than what I can budget in but they look like good rings.

Thanks. Looking forward to shooting maybe the 4th. It's now mounted on my 22-250. How'd you like the scope? I found mine on sale at http://cameralandny.com/old-deals.html
Thought for the price I should give the Vortex scopes a try.

Id prefer to have a 3x9 Leupold or Nikon or Zeiss
It should do fine, its not a walking around gun

I like the idea of that much magnification for bench shooting-sage rats and targets. And that is a nice looking rifle.

I use Weaver bases and Burris Zee Rings usually.  They are solid enough that I have never had any issues what so ever with them.
