Jimbo, guest, from TN, United States, asked on August 01, 2018

Getting into semi long range target shooting 308. Out to 300 yards. Curios as to whether this will be enough scope.

Featured Answer
A
Answered by recklesswhisper, member, from CA, United States, on September 07, 2018

For .308 this scope is a great choice. I'm using this exact same scope on my M&P10 and it's doing the job just fine. Most of my shooting is between 100 and 300 yards so I feel qualified to answer your question. I like the Vortex line of scopes. The build quality is up there and if you experience problems, they'll back the product. Good luck!

andrew, guest, from CA, United States, asked on October 18, 2022

what rings and bases will i need to mount this scope onto a montana arms rifle 6.5 creedmoor

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 21, 2022

I would recommend using the Evolution Gun Works HD Montana Rifle 1999 Picatinny Rail Scope Mount and any set of high height rings. My personal recommendation would be the Steiner H-Series Lightweight Rifle Scope Rings. Both the base and rings can be found by using the links below:

Putting on a rem 700 sps tactical what mounts do you recommend? Is there a certain mount i need to clear the 50mm scope ?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on August 08, 2022

To mount the Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50mm Rifle Scope to a Remington 700 SPS Tactical I recommend using a set of high 30mm diameter rings. If you have a picatinny scope base the rings at the link below will work.

what would be the best rings and height for Browning x bolt heels canyon speed in 7mm rem mag?

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Vortex, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on July 11, 2022

If running a 1-piece picatinny rail atop your X-Bolt, a set of the Pro-Series 30mm low-height rings would be ideally suited, PN# PR30-L.
