11 Trophy Hunter .243 heavy barrel = scope mount and rings?...

[Jwterry3]

Bought the combo with the Nikon scope....changing it out to larger scope 4-12 probably.

what mount and rings should I use?... Thanks

What is the gun for? What is your budget? What is the new scope size? What conditions is the gun used in?

[Jwterry3]

No budget on rings and mount......scope hasn't been bought yet but probably a 4-12 x 40 something in the $300-400 range.

Used primary for hunting inside 300yrds

If you are staying inside 300 yards what is wrong with the rings that came on it?

[Jwterry3]

Read some reviews where they mentioned they were not the best and would constantly loosen losing zero

[Jwterry3]

Looks like a vortex scope in the 4-12'or 4-16..... One is 1 inch and one is 30mm but both are 50mm...I assume I need medium or high rings?

Burris signature Z rings. Self aligning and they won't mar your scope. I have them on everything but a couple of benchrest rifles with Kelby rings.

I have weaver tactical mediums, my 50mm scope barely clears but its a 17 hmr so I dont worry about the barrel hitting the scope, dont know how much barrel flex a .243 has. I like the weaver tacticals because they are super solid and have 6 hex screw per ring. If budget isnt an issue and you want state of the art Id say get a Larue lever action single piece setup.

Ken Farrell if you want the best.
