Thread: Scope Mounts best option

Hey Team
Finally my new ruger 17hmr has arrived. I have left it with the store to arrange shortening and threading so next step is to add a scope. I am new to this type of equipment so keen to hear what is the best way to mount the scope.

I am fitting a gunworks supressor which is 35mm in dia if that is big enough to make a difference.

The rifle has 3/8" grooves and is also drilled for weaver #12 bases.

So i'd like to hear what you think about type of mount and also height of the mounts. Are there benefits and draw backs of either or does it make any difference which way i go?
