Good to know, thanks. The only Leupold scopes I have owned were the variables and they were large. Don't have any now, perfer the more compact options.

KYODE, is your Burris 2x a newer model or old model? I'm thinking there must be a difference somewhere. I no longer have that Burris, but mine was bought around 2005.

OK...I had my irons zeroed, but couldn't mount a scope without the rear all the way down. I wanted both zeroed.

I'd be surprised if you could leave your rear on target with any scope and the original rings. I see many pics of scopes mounted but all seem to have the rear backed all the way down. It doesn't cost anything, other than postage, to switch to higher rings so to me it is a no-brainer. You then don't have to worry about any scope fitting.
