Hello everyone,
I just plunked down my money on a Savage 10 FCP in .308 and need to figure out the optics to go with it... I'm looking at doing mostly target shooting at 300 to 600 yards. Here are a few questions that immediately come to mind:
1) If I'm mounting a scope with 50 mm objective, how high do the rings need to be?
2) Who makes good scope rings for this kind of setup?
3) Does it make sense to get a picatinny rail mount first, and then get rings for the picatinny mount, or should I just get rings designed for a Savage 10?
4) Given the distances that I'm looking at shooting, does it make sense to get a rail that has a 20 MOA slant built in?
5) What brand of scope would go well with this setup? I've got a couple of Bushnell Elites, and a Redfield (all of which I like), but I was thinking of a Leupold VX-3 this time around.
Thanks in advance...
Bryce
