I recently purchased a Ruger M77 tactical. It has a heavy varmint (tactical) barrel. Using the supplied rings I mounted a Leupold VX-I 4-12x40 with no problems.
Well the only problem is my eyes don't like the scope at maximum magnification. I am thinking about something with an adjustable objective. The VX-II series will fit just fine and I just may go with the 6-18x40mm and be happy.
However, I noticed the Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 with a side focus for about $50 cheaper. I fiddled with one at Gander Mountain the other day and I really like the idea of side focus, it's also a very nice scope.
However, will it fit? Gander said to just bring the rifle up which is fine but Gander doesn't have reticle choices and I'd prefer to have the mil-dot version.
Can any offer any advice?
Thanks.
