Hi Guys,
I sold my Bushmater Predator upper and will be recieving my new 450 upper at the end of the week. My plan was to put my Zeiss Conquest 3x9 on it in my Larue QD 104 Mount. However, the Zeiss has a long eye relieve 4" so I have to mount it on the rail as far forward as I can to compensate. I love the scope, but think I may need to go a different route.
Since this a 16'' barrel, I was thinking about changing my optics/mounts all together. I was thinking about changing to different mounts to also save on weight. Also, I really don't need 9 power as this rifle will be strickly for hunting, varmint/deer up to 200 yards. I don't need a ballistic reticle either, want something simple.
So, after some research, this is what I came up with so far:
Nikon Monarch 2-8x32 Matte Nikoplex in A.R.M.S. #22 Throw Lever Rings (not sure what highth to go with - Options: Low - 1/4" rise (ARMS 22L) Medium - 1/2" rise (ARMS 22M) / High - 3/4" rise (ARMS 22H)
Anyone have any suggestions? Do you think this would be a good combo? I want a package that is lightweight and strong. I know I will save some weight with a smaller scope and changing the Larue mount. I plan on selling the Zeiss and Larue mount once I make my mind up.
Thanks
Evan
