Most brand of low rings are fine on a 700. The height of your rail will come into play. It's a nightforce 20moa rail I ordered warne maxima low rings I think it will either just fit or just barely not fit. No sweat, I can get higher rings. It fits easily with room to spare. The only thing I don't like is you can't get a very good grip on the bolt handle because it is so close to the scope it will pinch your fingers. It's no fault of the scope––I'm going to get an extended bolt handle anyway that will hopefully resolve this problem. |

Looking at this scope for a replacement for a barska. While I know the groundhogs don't really care, is there a sun shade available? i see some on the web site but the scope is x44mm and the shade is 50mm, will these work on this scope.

I would start with medium or high. The tapered 10/22 barrel will help some Here is a good formula I borrowed from Snipers Hide. You measure 3 things: 1. the height of the front of your base/rail from the barrel 2. the height of your rings from the top of the rail to centerline 3. the outside diameter of the bell of the scope (not the size of the objective lens) Here is the equation: [rail height + ring height] - [bell diameter x 0.5] If the value is positive, then your bell will clear the barrel. Optimally, you want that bell to be about 1/4" or less over the barrel. This will give you a tight cheek weld and provide for more precise trajectory. Be sure to account for Butler Creek caps if you intend on using them. |

How do I use the dials on the turrets? Just tighten them down on 0 after I zero the rifle?

Would this handle 7.5x55 SWISS from a K31 mounted on the St.Marie clamp mount?
Note the mount has a 3/8” dovetail. |
