RE: Wolverine, Black Diamond/XR, or a CVA for new ML'er? Please help asap.
My vote goes the T/C BDXR. I just think it is a little more versatile.
BTW, I too would go with detachable rings and bases. It just makes cleaning, changing between seasons, etc easier. However my vote goes to the Leupold QR system. They make detachable rings and bases specifically for the black diamond. I've taken my scope on and off probably 30+ times since i last sighted it in, and its still dead on.
