(I did not get any response in the Optics section so I am repeating post here)
I’m looking for advice on the best scope ring/mount for a Browning X-bolt I plan to buy.
Browning makes an integrated scope mount for their new X-bolt in a great variety of sizes and finishes. Considering that there are 4 screws per base end, and because separate bases and rings would cost about twice as much, is there any good reason NOT to buy Browning’s integrated scope mount for that rifle?
I plan to buy and mount a Bushnell Elite 6500 Riflescope 2.5-16 x 42 mm objective scope, which has a 30mm tube. Browning says their “standard” height rings (and I assume it applies to their integrated scope mount too) fits objectives up to 44 mm, assuming the barrel has a “standard contour.” The scope is 13.5 inches long. I just want to be sure that the “standard” height Browning rings would be appropriate for that scope and rifle. Should the "standard" height be fine? Thanks.
