I have a vari-X III 4.5-14X50AO scope and the Leupold high mounts will not let the scope clear the barrel. I went to purchase the extra high mounts and the salesman told me that I would run into problems with the scope mounted that high. He stated that I may have problems if I were to shoot over 300yds. Can someone give me a little advice on this? Not saying that I shoot that far all the time, but if the condition and situation is right, I don't want to feel restricted on stretching it out. Any feedback is welcome!

is the ao what's giving you problems, what gun ?

 

[longgun60]

Yes, it is the AO. I have a 3.5-10X50 and it works with the high rings. But this scope (AO) is almost like a 56mm. I am putting it on a T/C Prohunter. Looks like I will have to get another scope and get rid of this one!

I have that scope in a 40 mm bell, I've had to go to the 50's ever since my eyes have been going bad

Want to trade? I'm wanting a smaller objective!

heck yea, I'll trade with ya. Got mine mounted on a 270 vanguard and I sure hate seperate em since they perform
so well together but I haven't shot it in 4-5 years. Got the
paper work on the scope too. Matte finish ...

have you ever seen how high the scope mounts up on a dragunov sniper rifle ? those units are good way out past 300 yards. As long as your scope/rings/base are parallel to the bore then rock and roll.

pm sent, let's work something out

Thanks Beladran, I never looked at it like that. Maybe it will work!
