It will go on a DSA SA-58 18" with the DSA Heavy Duty Scope Mount.

The farthest I've shot was 500 yards with the irons.
Past that I don't know how accurate it is.
I have been told it should do 600, maybe 700, but that'd be it.

I've been looking at the Leupold MR/T 2.5-8x36 with some type of quick release mount.
Maybe a Larue.

I'd appreciate any opinions on the scope choice, the mount and reticle.

For what it's worth I do have long range shooting experience.

Thanks.

I've been using a 2-12x32 IOR on my DSA.  No complaints other than that I have a very slight amount of 'fisheye' when in the extreme lower magnification settings.  Once I hit 3x and up, it's all good.


I wanted an optic that would allow for some useful magnification out to 700+ yds but still work for up close--the IOR has suited my needs beautifully.  The fisheye hasn't caused me any problems either....just a minor annoyance at first.  I don't even notice it now.

I've rarely had the chance to go beyond 200 (Fd up political saga at an area range...) but I am very happy with my 4x Hensoldt, ARMS adaptor and weaver cover. The elevation dial is cammed for 100m intervals to keep it simple for a MBR, and the Stadia line reticle never blocks anything out.

If it wasn't my money, I'd get the Nightforce 3.5-15x50.  Reticle in second plane, it does not change size when changing powers.  

The only scope manf. that guarantees their scope to be waterproof.
