Hiya All.. New member, thought I might introduce myself, and I also have a simple (I hope) question. A buddy of mine picked up a BM A3 20" about a month ago, and I made the mistake of firing about 20 rounds out of it. Then made the even bigger mistake of browsing through this site. his It worked. her I've got a BM Varminter Special on the way as it was the closest to how I has picturing my complete homebuilt. I was picturing a 20" barell, but I can live with the 24. This leads to my question. I'm not sure of the proper scope mount that I need. The Varminter Special has the "B.M.A.S. Scope Risers", but I was unable to find the specifics of these in their online catalog. Do I just need the Aluminum Scope Rings to attach a scope? My FFL recommended the Bushnell Elite 3200 32-1040M as a decent starter scope (I'm pretty strapped for cash - almost went with a Standard A-3 to avoid the x-tra immediate scope cost). Any oppinions on this as a $170 "cheapo"? I have a 90 yard Range near my home, and my FFL said he take me out any time where he goes (My Wifes best friends Husband), which is up to 500 yards. |

This leads to my question. I'm not sure of the proper scope mount that I need. Do I just need the Aluminum Scope Rings to attach a scope? You probably won't need the risers if you get the high rings. I have a set of them and they are just sitting in my spare parts box. I would recommend the Armalite one piece mount, as it positions most scopes far enough forward for proper eye relief. The Larue mount also shares this characteristic.  |
| I just purchased a Varminter and ended up using the riser blocks that came with it. I then bought Leupold QRW medium rings that I installed a Nikon UCC Monarch 6.5-20x44 scope on. It has been a pretty good combination and have enjoyed it thus far. However, if you aren't going to use the risers and want to mount straight to the flat-top, go with the high rings like the previous fellow mentioned. |
