I'm in a very similar position right now. Picking up my Savage 12 VLP tonight.
What rings would you guys recommend for a Nikon Monarch with a 50mm objective bell? Have my eyes on the 6-24x50, looking for a 400 yard gun or so.
Burris, Warne, Leupold are all on my list. Not sure what height it will take to just clear that scope and not be too high.
