Which mounting setup should I use for the Noreen AR in the 300 Win Mag? Expert Answer

I would recommend using the 1.44" NightForce UltraLight Unimount Rifle Scope Mount (linked below). This mount will provide enough clearance for your objective lens and allow for the ideal head position on an AR platform rifle.

Just picked up a Browning Xbolt 6.8. What size/height scope rings will I need to mount this? Expert Answer

Helpful Positive Review Replaced VX-2 6-18 CDS by JoeyR, May 9, 2020

Product Info for Leupold VX-5HD 4-20x52mm Rifle Scope, 34mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

This Leupold VX-5HD 4-20x52 Side Focus Rifle Scope delivers a wide magnification range and high-performance optics to improve your efficiency on the hunting grounds. These Rifle Scopes made by Leupold feature scratch-resistant lenses and a Guard-ion lens coating that keeps the glass free from dirt and moisture for clear views at all times. The Leupold VX-5HD 4-20x52 Side Focus Rifle Scope brings you the brightest views possible thanks to the Twilight Max HD Light Management System, and this ultra-lightweight scope is durable, waterproof and fogproof for use in challenging environments and harsh weather conditions. Improve your aim by mounting a Leupold VX-5HD 4-20x52 Side Focus SFP Rifle Scope onto your weapon.image

Every CDS model scope comes with a standard MOA or MIL dial right out of the box, so it's not a custom dial yet. To get yours, enter your ballistic information that can usually be found on your ammo box or the manufacturer's website and some of the environmental conditions where you'll be shooting the most, and we will laser-etch a new elevation dial to match. Once you receive the new dial in the mail, swap out the standard MOA or MIL dial, and you're good to go. The Custom Dial System® (CDS) ensures your scope is now perfectly tuned to the ballistics of your rifle.

Fully understanding your ballistics can be intimidating. That's why the Leupold Custom Dial System® (CDS) laser-etches your scope's elevation dial to match your load, velocity, and conditions. All you do is range your target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on. No more holdovers, bullet drop reticles, or ballistic calculators. Just quick, accurate shots every time.
