Interestingly enough, this rifle used to wear a VX3 2.5-8 on Leupold mounts. I took that scope off and put it on my sons rifle and my intent was to put this Nightforce on the .375. I never liked the Leupold mounts to begin with, but I bought the gun used that way. I'd love to use Talley steel bases and screw lock rings, but I don't see that working, as shown with the QD rings pictured above. This scope is just a hair shorter tubed than the Leupold. BSA17, thanks for that pic. No ejection issues? I cant see the other side, is that a Classic or push feed action?
