I'm new to this forum and have never owned a Savage/Stevens before. I bought a M200 in 25.06 and am thinking about mounting a Nikon Prostaff 3-9X40 on it. Cabelas has them for around 100 bucks. I know they aren't the best scopes made but gotta watch our budget. Is the scope barrel long enough for the la? Also, what mount and height rings do the folks that have a similar setup recomend. I plan on staying with the plastic stock and the factory barrel for at least a little while. At some point I will most likely get a after market heavy sporter. Not sure about the stock yet. Man, I love this site. It's a whole new world for me.
