It doesn't look that bad but I wish the objective would hug the barrel a little closer..Before the Kahles I had a av 4-12x50 and it fit with room to spare and looked good with low rings. I don't want to go past 9-10 power with this 300 wsm . DOesn't matter anyway Beretta doesn't have them in stock[:@]and says they were discontinued a while back . Yet you go to www.sako.fi and they are there with a part number. Conetrol rings and bases if they didn't mar the tube would be a very good choice. I always manage to ding a tube everytime I use those rings and or talley steel rings.
