I know there is a subforum for scopes but wanted to put this here since the rifle is an extended rail socom II, and I know there are a few of you here running a similar set-up. I got a few gift cards from my b day last week and want to buy a scope for ~$250. The rifle is still in the SA synthetic stock, I don't hunt, and just shoot 100 yards at the range. I would like to try the 200 eventually (my local range rule is scope required for 200).
Right now I am leaning towards this: Leupold Rifleman 4-12x40mm. $270 at Dick's.
Is 4-12x maybe too much scope for a deuce, and should I perhaps just go with a 3-9x? Only $45 difference between the two anyhow, and am just thinking the more power the better.
The second half of my question would be a suggestion on a mount. I have been looking at LaRue pieces and want the QD speed lever type, something like these ---> Tactical ultra-low mount rings. But apparently these are only available in 30mm and the Leupold is spec'd at 1" tube diameter.
I also like this here Tactical M4 scope mount, but might it put the scope too high? I know it is spec'd for an AR but am guessing maybe it'll work with a cheek pad. I do like the idea of it being one piece.
Are there any mounts out there that let me keep the sights at the same time (am guessing not as the scope will be too high)? Somehow lol I think that is a total newb question, isn't it.
Any suggestions are greatly appeciated. Thanks fellas.
