Agreed, wish the Finnlight was more forgiving of short scope tubes.
This short tube barely fit on this Kimber as well. I could only position the Talleys in the arrangement show to clear the bell. It's in lows now. I had it in extra lows, but had to file and bevel the edges of "bases" but just couldn't get enough clearance to feel comfortable with it.
Just FYI, Talley makes extension rings for Kimbers.... or at least they make a 30mm set that fits the 8400. I use them on my Kimber 8400 with a (short-tube) Nightforce 3-10 SHV.
I had to actually call them about this as my Google-fu was insufficient to find any out there for sale or for that matter any MENTION of them existing.
My untralight has a Leup 2.5-8 on it which is a nice size and weight, but it's a simple truth that the rifle would perform better
at hitting things with a superior scope. It's a good-shooting 7-08 Mountain Rifle... so, sky's the limit... but the Leup 2.5-8 holds it back some.
