Bouldar, member, from GA, United States, asked on June 10, 2022

What height rings for this scope on a defiance action 300 win mag with integrated 20 moa rail and a proof carbon fiber sendero contour barrel? Thanks

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by NightForce, Manufacturer from GA, United States, on June 29, 2022

The barrel diameter is crucial in selecting the proper height. If the barrel diameter is .82 or less, you can go with the .885" low rings (part number A118). If the diameter is greater than .82, you'll have to go with the 1" medium rings (part number A101) to achieve the proper clearance.

Q
Bernard, guest, from VA, United States, asked on December 01, 2018

Can this scope handle the impact from a SCAR 17s .308? I'm told this rifle brakes scopes all the time. Also, which Scope rings should I buy?

A
Answered by Matt G., member, from SC, United States, on July 11, 2019

It's a Nightforce so yes. They've had customers put the NXS line on rifles as big as a 50bmg(small considering the next 2) the 14.5/114 Russian, and even the 20mm Vulcan(fires a 1,757gr bullet! at 2,720fps w/30,000ftbls of energy at muzzle!) And that customer had OVER 4K rounds through it with the 20mm Vulcan and many barrels! All that from just 2 customers & with no loss of zero or tracking or any other feature too. It can take whatever is thrown at it, and it is the scope maker choosen by the Navy SEALs to go on the FNH SCAR 17S they have to use on missions, & theirs are full auto too. Also the brand most other JSOC & SOCOM units(S&B & Leupold Mark8 the others).choose for their DMR, SPR, CSASS, & Sniper Rifles.
