Extra low work....if you can wait a week, I'll have a set of the extra lows to pedal. I'm switching to the lows and mounting a 3.5X10X40 on my predator...currently wear a 2.5X8X36

Thank you sir. My wife is going to love this combo

Can I wait a week?

All I really have is time.
Depends on how far you want the scope back. Most especially with a compact stock the scope will like be more forward and the power selector will be a problem.
Again, the extra lows can be a more a problem with the power selector.

I was wrong...the extra lows will work with a 3.5X1X40 Leupold....just not with one with an AO grin

As Steelhead brought up, will they work with 1.25" less LOP?

Probably not...I would like to see how the power adjustment clears sliding the scope forward on the lows. If the scope needs to go that much forward...I'd bet the low's won't clear the power selector either.

I'm keeping my extra low's....as they work ideal for my purpose....just say in smile
