Title: suggestions for rings/mount for vortex
Post by: Eric M 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?

finally shot it yesterday
I have rings that have 3 screws not sure of the brand though, seemed to shoot well with them on the .300 ultra

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.

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.
