I have a buddy that is going to order a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x40 to top a Rem 700 SPS Youth in 7mm-08 Remington for his daughter. He wants to order as quickly as possible (upcoming birthday) so I was wondering if I could hear a couple of quick suggestions on mounts. Most likely leaning towards a two piece base/rings combo. What height ring provided clearance for you?
Many thanks! |

I would think that the low Talley should work.
I have these exact same rings on my Howa youth model and my Nikon Monarch 2-8x32 has a ton of clearance. Edited by sholling - September/18/2008 at 10:57 |

I'd use the Burris Signature's with the plastic inserts.

Thanks! Passed along the recomendations for the low Talley Lightweights. I'd previously used the Talleys to mount a 3-9x40 Conquest on a 30'06 Kimber Montana and thought they worked well last season!
Good to see you echo my first impressions. |

You are really hung up on the .5 inchs of eye relief huh. I don't think it will be a problem on a 7mm-08. I have one on a 45-70 and have never had a problem. |

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

That 1/2" is huge when you get smacked in the face with a scope a few times. For the average 160 guy 3" is plenty for an '08. For a small framed female shooting with a short LOP youth stock who knows.

It is all about how you mount the rifle to your shoulder. 90% of people don't do it right so they get smacked in the eye.
