Anyways in all seriousness.. Im either getting the LRTS or the SWFA SS.. Id really Like the SWFA SS HD bit I'll probably just get the regular.

The Bushnell is my first pick, hopefully Doug still has one when I go to buy it. Or gets more in.

Absolutely. After years of shooting MOA scopes, one range trip with my first LRHS and I was hooked.

Don't look at mounts. Just grab a pair of Burris 30mm XTR Signature rings and add the appropriate inserts to max out your elevation/to your zero.

I need to find a picatinny rail for a xbolt short action...

Those look like nice mounts. How do you measure for your eye, for low medium or high mounts?

they make a 0 moa, too. But the 20 moa base and the inserts in the rings, tuned to your rifle, will get real close to maximizing your elevation.....

Solid recommendations from Don. The rail is going to allow you more flexibility in mounting your scope compared to a set of fixed rings. Maximum ring spacing has its benefits as well...

What do you mean by maximum ring spacing? I havent mounted a scope in 30 years except on my crossbow lol.

He means spacing your rings as far apart as possible, to maintain eye relief, according to the length of rail you have. The further, the stronger. That is where most mounts fall short. Pun...

I've bought a LRTS and a LRTSi, I'm glad I listened to everyone saying how good they were.

BTW, if anyone else has a SWFA 6X MQ Black Friday Deal they want to let go, I could use one for a 22 project I'm putting together.

I’ve been using a LRHSi for a few months and decided to pick up the Elite Tactical DMR II and Kestrel deal from Doug today.

Hoping to be impressed.

fixed it for you, buddy


About a 5" drop between 200 and 400yds with a 143gr eld, With a 200yd zero and aiming 2" high on a 400yd shot.. that would be well within the killzone of a deer. Lol



Your dreaming. May want to recheck that, my friend.
