Although heavy, they're built like a TANK! It will take abuse well beyond what any other scope would take.
I’m Looking forward to it
That New Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 FAILED Miserably to Hold Zero, That’s why I haven’t been shooting my Mountaineer in quite sometime, It made it 2 outings and went Tits. Me and Vortex came to the End of the Rd, I have had BAD Luck with their Stuff, it’s doubtful i will ever own anything else of theirs. It wasn’t like That Vortex Viper i had was Cheap, I bought the FFP Model, I got mine on Sale for 800.00, They normally Sell for 1,000 Bucks.
I just Switched gears on Rings, I ended up going with Nightforce 1.125s, I LOVE my Steel Mark 4s, My mediums at .084 are just a little to Short for this Nightforce with 56MM Bell, I am confident the Mark 4 High’s at 1.06 Would Work fine, But I would feel more comfortable Stepping up a Little bit more. It’s a Shame That Leupold doesn’t offer a Mark 4 Steel Ring in between the High and Super High, There is a REALLY BIG Gap there, 1.06 to 1.5” Nightforce offers a few more Heights to Fill that Gap
