  1. For a Ruger American chambered in.308 with a Vortex Viper PST II 5-25×50 first focal plane scope are the low rings too low to clear the defender flip caps and the bolt action handle? I'll be using the EGW picatinny rail. Any thoughts on EGW HD rail (.35" high) verses standard rail (.40" high)? Also, vortex precision match or pro rings?

  2. Hey Ryan, I have purchased a Tompson Center Encore barrel from MGM in 6.5 PRC. I also ordered a Talley 20 MOA picanny rail for the base. I have now purchased the Strike Eagle 4x24x50 MM to mount on top. What size or set of rings do you recommend for this set up? Thks

  3. I love Vortex, but every time he said "modular sporting rifle," it was like nails on a chalkboard. We don't have to come up with our own P.C. alternatives to "assault weapons."

    Just say carbine!

  4. Hi Guys,
    I just purchased the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25 x 50 and plan to mount it on my Tikka T3x TAC A1. Can you let me know what high quality set of rings would best suit this application and give me the most out of the scope?
    Note: I don’t intend to shoot past 1000yrds.
    P.S keep up the great work, these vlogs are extremely informative 👍🏻

  5. Does vortex or anyone else make a steel scope I’m not impressed with the durability of today’s modern rifle scope . I’ve mounted scopes myself for 30 years or so now with today’s delicate aluminum tubes all the sudden I need a torque wrench to avoid damaging the optic . It seems to me that is a design flaw ?

  6. I bought a crossfire ll 4-12×50 scope ….and got VPR-1H High mounts not knowing scopes had specific mounts for specific models. I got them because i liked them ….rifle is a win M70 30-06….. Question is…will that affect performance ? I doubt it will but id like to make sure before i sight it in …Thanks in advance …

  7. What's the difference between a standard cantilever mount and 20 moa cantiliver mount? I'm looking at putting the Viper PST Gen II First Focal Plane EBR 2C MRAD on my MSR 10 long range? Which mount would you recommend? I would also prefer QD but not a definite. Just looking for a good mount to go with a good scope.

  8. Just need to confirm medium height precision matched Vortex rings are appropriate for mounting a Viper Gen II 5-25×50 SFP. Will be with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail by EGW mounted on a Bergara HMR Pro (6.5 Creedmoor). Thanks

  9. Appears there is a discussion on a forum, Vertical rings vs horizontal.
    Can you provide any feedback on this?
    Apparently they found issues with vertical rings or quick release mounts with Vertical ring mounts.
    Just curious, thanks.

  10. What height rings would you recommend for a Vortex Viper 6.5-20×44 30mm tube mounted on my hunting rifle Savage Axis II .270 win (with accutrigger) Planning on using the Talley or leupold two piece style rings.

  11. Love vortex. One issue. On my AR I have a crossfire 3-9×40 scope, and the cantilever mounts with 2" offset. Wne I go to boresight, its so low, it maxxes the elevation out before I can even go to the range and hit paper. Am I doing something wrong? My optic lands pretty much even with the charging handle, my rifle is a Ruger SR-556. Hope you can help, im hoping I dont have to buy another set of rings…

  12. I Have a Vortex Crossfire ii 6-18 scope and want to mount it onto my Aero Precision AR10 in 6.5 creedmore. I'm trying to figure what rings and height to use for the combo. Of course they will be 1" but please help with recommendations.

  13. why is it on most of these videos, at the end i feel like i have just been listening to a politician ? how about get to the point & shelve the fluff. i have a question about high scope rings , since that is the title of this video. what a waste of time !
