What mounting ring do you recommend for a Browning 300 win mag? Manufacturer Answer

Not knowing for sure what the diameter of that specific barrel is, we'll have to give you the information below for this setup.
If the diameter of your barrel is .825" or smaller (Sendero Style), you can go with the 1" Medium rings- Part number A101
If the diameter of the barrel is over .825", you will have to go with the 1.125" High rings- Part number A107

Best glass for the $ hands down. Glass is super clean and is probably what I’d consider best value for a top tier scope on the market.

Purchased the SHV 5-20x56 six months ago and mounted it on a custom built .308 Remington 700 action. After the barrel break in, the gun shot better than expected (1/2 moa at 200yds). Highly recommend this scope and NightForce as a company!

Predator hunting by RetiredC, March 8, 2018
Quite a nice scope with great light transmission. So far it works quite well for predator hunting at night and as I get more familiar with the moar reticle it will become easier to use. I am thinking about taking it along on my next trip to South ...
