New Goggles For my Mountaineer
Off with the Vortex, I Brought this Ugly Duckling Home to Take it’s place Atop my Knight Mountaineer :D Of Course my Rings were to Short so i have to wait a Few Days before i can play with it, I have the Correct Set of Steel Mark 4s on their Way :cool2: Nightforce NXS 5.5-22X56 MOAR-T (Target) Nightforce Flip up Dust Caps  |
Well that's nice. Did you win the lottery? I can't afford glass like that!

Congratulations!
You're going to like that scope.. I have the same, short of mine is a 50mm and MOAR. I also used the Mark4 rings, lapping them. Although heavy, they're built like a TANK! It will take abuse well beyond what any other scope would take. |

It will take abuse well beyond what any other scope would take. 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 |

Them SWFA SS scopes are built to take a pounding too. I got my eye on one if i decide to keep my Savage 45. The SWFA SS was the old Tasco Super Sniper made under contract for US armed forces such as Navy Seals. SWFA bought the rights to it. Hell of a lot of scope for under $800 and $300 for fixed power. Some of them have a nice 3.9" of eye relief too.

I had it down to this Nightforce, or an SWFA 3-15X42, I felt like I couldn’t go wrong with either. I have wanted a Nightforce for Years, and beings they are an Idaho Based Company (about 3-1/2 Hours south of me) I Chose Nightforce. |

Putting the Ole Gal together, The Rings sure got here in a Hurry :D I switched gears 1 more time after some Fitting, I ended up going with Nightforce Extreme Duty Medium (1 inch) 6 Screw, With a Level Top Half  I Leveled my Crosshairs with a Plumbline about 40 Yards out. I’ve got it Running SPOT ON, Then Torqued the Ring Half Screws to 25 inch pounds per Nightforce Recommendation  I REALLY Like this Ring Half Level, I don’t have to “Hunt” for it, it’s THERE  Ready for a Test Run :cool2:  Got a Country mile of Clearance here :D I am REALLY Glad i Switched gears a 2nd time and went with this Medium (1 inch) The 1.125 That I ALMOST Got would have been Taller than needed. I like my Scopes as low on the Rifle as i can Get them, This is a BEAUTIFUL Match up :cool2:  |
Look’n good! |
