    30mm scope options

    Hey guys I bought a styer 243 a fair while back and it came with 30mm de datchable mounts. I mounted my swari z3 on it with just millet mounts. Now i am going to put the de detachable back on but not sure on the scope. I was thinking leupold vrx 4-12x50, vx6 2-12x42 or zeiss duralyt 4-12x50 what are your thoughts.

    Yeah I got that, but he's got millet rings for it.
    Why would you want detachable mounts?

    I hear ya!
    There are so many advantages to having reliable ones it isint funny.
    I dont have iron sights on any of my barrels but use an aimpoint with a crosshair reticule for the bush and close stuff. Accurate to 150 for body shots, easy.

    Just a couple seconds to change scopes, If and when I need too.

    Not to mention all my scopes that go on my Blaser still look pretty new compared to my ones on my conventional setups.
    The aimpoint gets the most use and shows it a little.
