I used this kit for a recent LR308 build - everything fit perfectly. However, the most impressive thing about this parts kit is that CMMG had the foresight to package the parts in a plastic form that holds the parts over a card with each part labelled! That simple packaging scheme saved me 20-30 minutes of sorting through parts to figure out what I have. Thank you CMMG!

This is my first Leupold scope. The optics are as great as everyone says in the reviews on the internet. Plenty of eye relief to prevent getting a black eye when using with larger caliber rifles. It is a great scope in every way except one - it does not include an indicator ring on the elevation/windage turrets to show if you have adjusted beyond a full turn. Leupold doesn't mention this anywhere that I could find in their literature. If you don't intend to shoot out beyond 60 clicks on your turrets, I guess it is not a problem. With this being an 8X max scope, I probably won't be attempting anything out beyond a full rev on the elevation turret anyway, so should work fine for me. (I got this scope on sale for a really good price; however, if I had paid full price, I would have considered returning it since this aspect was not clearly defined in their literature. Again, for an 8X scope, it may not be a big deal unless you plan to push it out beyond 400 yards - depending on the ballistics involved.)

I used the Browning 1"standard integrated scope mount (Part #12377) to mount a Leupold VX-3I 2.5-8X356mm scope to my Browning BAR Mark II Safari 308 semi-auto rifle. Worked great with plenty of clearance from the objective lens to the barrel for the stated scope. The integrated scope mounts look great and are easy to install. These are precision machined for the BAR rifle and fit perfect - no need for lapping the rings etc.

I would highly recommend them for the BAR rifle.
