Duckhammer:
Hi All, I recently purchased a Weatherby Vanguard Meateater and would really like to hear from others and see pics of your scope/ring/base combo choices. I am halfway through my new “waiting period”… So I am shopping for a scope and mounting hardware. Looking for opinions and advice from others who have a vanguard or meateater and what they went with and why. PLEASE add pics if you have them! I am Looking to spend no more than $500 on a scope.

Short action or Long Action?  What cartridge? What is the primary purpose of the rifle (general purpose, busting brush, long range, etc). Any base made for Weatherby Vanguard or Howa 1500 in the corresponding action length will fit your rifle.  I have and do own many Vanguards and Howas and have been using Leupold Backcountry base rails and TSR rings.  But I have been wanting to give the Leupold Backcountry ring/base mounts a try.  You will want to pick a scope first and from there you can determine what height of rings/bases you will need. 

Duckhammer:
Rifle is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Still shopping for scopes…. Really like the Tally 1 piece base ring combo for my rifle. Torn in scope though, really like Leupold but also like an adjustable objective lens and they currently do not produce one in my price range. Vortex does but the scopes are notably heavier. Not really familiar with Burris, Nikon or any other scopes out there. Main purpose is open land hunting and long range up to 500yds or so. My biggest concern with the Leupold is the parallax out past 250 yards. The VX3 with the Creedmoor reticle in 4-12x40 is where I am leaning currently unless I can find better for the money. (Under $500)

I like the DNZ reaper. The one piece mount is good and sturdy.

DNZ mounts work fabulous on my daughter's 6.5
