Redfox Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Bearing in mind the cost of the scope and the damage that mounts like warne and hilver etc do to the tube. I would get the Burris signiature series from Brownells which not only have inserts but can allow up to 10+ MOA of adjustment without adjusting the scope. The nearer centre the reticle remains the better the optical performance of the scope and of course the accuracy. I have had several sets off them, the price is good and they fit the Leupold/ Burris bases, usually have them in less than five days. will post a link later their site seems down.

Guest varmartin Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 It may be worth reading the terms and conditions of use that comes with the scope.. The instructions that came with my Nightforce NXS state that the warranty will be void if ` turn in ` style mounts are used .. If there was a problem with your NXS, how would the factory know what mounts were used ??? Quote from my owners manual.. Under no circumstances do we recommend the usage of turn in style rotary/dovetail ring and base designs, especially those equipped with windage adjustment. I am in the process of finding some nice steel Tactical type mounts for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehole Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Varmartin is quite right avoid any turn in style or adjustable windage mounts I would say.I know they are expensive but Leupold Mark 4 ring sets are good as well as TPS products which are even better and work to tighter tolerances again.I have had RPA supply me with the TPS mounts as well as Russell Gall of RG Rifles and suggest you may start your enquiries with them but I am sure you can get them on the net somewheres.If you do get TPS mounts make sure you read the instructions as it is very very important.Best wishes.Onehole.

Alycidon Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 http://www.badgerord.com/productgroup.php?id=rings Strongly recommended to me, SYSS have a few in stock as well otherwise Midway etc. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Picatinny rail for the 700 action and sako/tikka rings. Warne rings work but do irreparable damage to the scope body as do many others, would not consider aluminium rings at any price ona full bore rifle.Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Nightforce,s own mounts are excellent, solid steel, no frills, ...just .....excellent really.I,ve two pairs, and they required very little lapping at all. We havent actually got any badgers in yet...everything but , in fact. The states has gone absolutely stupid . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Because they sell them. We sell warne mounts too, but i,d trap my broccoli in a door jamb, before sell you a pair to go on a nightforce, talk about spoiling the ship for a ha, porth of tar. Warne rings are an absolute stripey deckchair to set up, you need three hands, and they are difficult to lap properly. Save up buddy and buy some steel ones, the nightforce is a heavy scope, and deserves better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Get onto the Sinclair International, Brownells site and order from there. They will be with you in three maybe four days (from my own experience) You can buy, Nightforce own, Badger Ordnance and Ken Farrell who all make excellent products - cheap rings are just that - cheap! I wouldnt use the Warne or Leup ring sets on an expensive scope - false economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah buddy, leupold rings arent bad at all, not the best, but certainly not poor, and they will get you shooting.You dont want the turn in ones, but the mk4 models, these are virtually identical to nightforce mounts, but probarbly cheaper.

ds1 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Everyone rates Badger - but me, left ring marks on a S&B PMII I was not overly chufffed. TPS have worked better for me. What I would be tempted to do would be go with a plastic insert - either via a 34mm ring set and use 30mm plastic inserts - Badger do do them I think or use Sako Optilock and as mentioned Burris.
