It's Near but not integral. I have the exact same 3 ring integral on my 378 Bee. I move my scopes around to different rifles so I put the picatinney rail on most all my rifles and moving scope to different rifles is easier. A the price of the NF scopes you don't want every rifle to wear one. The blueing versus blue rings has fooled more than one person I've read the same on other forums. Nice rig - looks set up for brush hunting rather than long field shooting. That scope has long relief- compared with my NF on the Accumark. Do you have to push your head forward to focus? When you bring your rifle up and place it on your shoulder you should be able to focus quickly without moving your head forward. Can you do that with that scope?
Yeah, the .340 Accumark is my longish-range rifle, and it has the Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x 50mm. The .375 DGR is for rougher hunts. It has a 24-inch instead of 26-inch barrel, the barrel is heavier, and it has back-up open sights. The 1.25-8X 6500 on that one has about 6-inches of eye relief. I had to mount the scope (as indicated in the pic) as far forward as I could on my rig in order to have the best focus with my natural posture. It works great for me. On the 1.25X setting it has a wide field of view and you easily and quickly can acquire a close target with both eyes open.
