I have yet to put a scope on my Triumph. Looks nice. Would a set of high rings been better?

Not sure what brand they are, but because of the distance forward on the reciever where you mount the scope you really need to use a set of extended rings to get the scope back far enough to get a good sight picture and extended rings are really quite stable. Other choice is to go with a scope like an Omega with extended eye relief, but then you loose field of view.

Thanks SL! That rear one just looks kind of flimsy. Kind of like see-through rings.

Yes those are Weaver 4x4 offset rings. The Knight Vision does have a ring base setup too far forward and eye relief was crappy. I used the offset rings to give some room to move the Leupold scope back and give me the eye relief I need. The rings are great and I have them on another gun, an NEF Sidekick:

This gun is one of my favorite setups and one that has served me well. It is my back up and has harvested deer every year I have had it. I usually let me buddy use it during ML season. He is such a cheap bastard, but has a nice 60 acre farm. Oh well!
