I'm looking at putting either a 6-24X40 or a 4-16X50 Bushnell 4200 atop my bushy varminter.
First, I Can't decide if I need the 6-24X or if it would even be feasible given it's length and lack of internal adjustment.
At any rate, I had the idea of going with the 50mm 4-16, but when I talked to a guy at Bushmaster, they acted like the Armalite mount wouldn't accomadate(clear the forearm) a bell like that(why I asked bushmaster, it was more to humor myself, and to point out that I wished they offered something comparable)? I know (one I think was "imposter") a few have said they have this exact scope, but I don't recall any using the Armalite mount. I'd really like to utilize the one piece precision and the quick take-off put-on time of the armalite. What do you think.
I suppose I could always slap on the 1/2 risers that come with the varminter, but I don't want those getting in the way if I switch to a secondary optic (red dot etc)
Thanks in advance.
