Cayuqad, when I built my last Hawken I put the scope on first and mounted the rear sight in front of it, it looks a bit different but works just fine. I really don't understand why some people think iron sights are for short range only. Lee

I do actually like hunting with scopes.

RE: Ultra mag with a Millet Scope
I got up early and wanted to shoot the White Ultra Mag to make up my mind about whether or not the Millet Buck was staying on the rifle. After a couple knocks on the eye brow I knew it had to be moved forward which meant removing the rear sight.
Instead I took the rifle to the big city and purchased a Nikon 2-7x32 Pro Staff and had that mounted instead. As you can see I have the rear sights still in place, the Warne QD rings still, and plenty of eye relief. Almost 4" I believe it is. The fellow at the gun shop even offered me the use of the range. I told him had I known that, I'd of come loaded for bare.
I think this Nikon will work out fine.
Triple Se7en who has never steered me wrong yet, made up my mind actually...
The Pro-staff would be a better choice for that rifle. Besides giving you more forward room for sliding,it has slightly more eye relief than the Millet also.
I can't get over how clear the glass is on my Pro-staff. I'm not sure there is a clearer view scope in the $120 range. Although my Sightron SI has more "toys/options" in the same price range, the Pro-staff is slightly clearer to look out.

As for the Millet.. well I guessI have to get another rifle to mount that on... just kidding..
I am thinking of throwing that Millet on my Knight Disc or my CVA Staghorn and then RED DOT the CVA Stalker...Anyway, that's what the set up looks like now...

Cayugad - Nice looking rig. Will have to keep the Nikon 2-7x32 Pro Staff in mind next time I'm looking for a scope that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Please continue to post your experiences with your White. I'm really intrigued so far. If experience is any guide, this feeling usually leads to a thinner wallet, but a happier "Hunter John"

RE: Ultra mag with a Millet Scope
[&o] a much thinner wallet. Actually the Pro Staff is $120.00 at http:www.ultout.com and that includes shipping. While the fellow at the gun shop could not match that price, he threw in the mounting and a few other extras.
Plus he showed me some excellent rifles...

If mine ever gets here I am going to put a Bushnell 3x9x40 Trophy I have here on it. I do have a Sightron SI but I think I like the Trophy better.
Just wish the darn thing would get here...
What height are you rings? medium of high?

That Millet would go-good on your "long, straight stock"Knight Disc. More up-front protection there for scopes with less eye relief.

Did the Bushnell ML forum die recently? I tried unsuccessfully clicking-on today. Appears to have gone to the same forum heaven as CVA's old forum..lol
