JOE KICKASS Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Just placed my order for 300 WSM syn. Just wanted to know what people have for scopes. I'm looking a Leupold VX-I 3-9X50 with weaver tactical rings ( # 48351 ). I think I will need the X high rings but not sure. Any suggestions or comments.

stid2677 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I use a Lupe VXL 3.5x10x50 with Boone and Crocket reticle for a scope. The only rail that I have found that will work is the factory picatinny rail because the front is lower than the back. I use Warne quick release rings to hold the scope to the rail. Nice low setup. Holds up to the recoil and the beating it takes on the rough roads of Alaska. Good Luck Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE KICKASS Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 I would love to get that scope, but it's not in cards for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 The high rings should work fine with that scope. I like the Burris Signature rings. The inserts correct any minor alignment issues without the need for lapping and they leave no ring marks. You will definitely need to use the factory supplied base, because it has the right amount of elevation correction built in. I tried a standard BAR base and ran out of adjustment.

JOE KICKASS Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 do you think i can get away with the high rings or do i need the x-high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE KICKASS Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Tactical In the tactical world, performance is mandatory—there is no compromise. Whether it's intense training or real-life action, you need your zero to stay true. These aircraft-grade aluminum tactical rings feature six points of contact for maximum security and are designed to withstand the most grueling environments imaginable. If you demand the most from your tactical scope, demand Weaver.

tucker301 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I had the VX-III 3.5-10 X 50 on my R1 and the high rings gave ample clearance, not the x-high. That being said, your desired amount of eye relief could come into play. As you can see from this photo, the scope's steep tube angle on the objective end was preventing me from moving it any farther back. It was never an issue for me, as the scope was positioned where I wanted it. Perhaps the x-high rings would give you a bit more freedom in positioning it. I like keeping the scope as low as possible.

JOE KICKASS Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks for the advice and the pic. That is a sweet looking R1 , love the wood they use no cheap SXR crap. I don't know if that will work for me it look's like it is a little far ahead for me. Do you know what the differance is between the high and x high 1/8" 1/4" it does not say on the site.

gere436 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10X with 50mm objective and BDC reticle. I think that this is the best scope for the money out there I know others will disagree but it is an awesome scope for the money spent. I think it is much clearer and brighter than the comparable Leupoulds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
