I have an Air Arms TX200. I used high mounts and have plenty of room to load my rifle. But if yours is a break barrel medium might work. Mine is under lever

On this scope the objective end projects 1/2" below the saddle of the rings. Depending what gun you're mounting this on you need to take into account the height of your mount and receiver to get a total of at least 1/2" clearance to the barrel. Some scope ring manufactures actually list the height of their rings on their websites.

Id use high mounts, as it has a large objective, it will be better for your eye relief to. Best Regards Vermont Air gunner

That does depend a little bit on the gun and setup you want. I believe low will not work on most guns, I think I am using mediums on mine and obviously highs should work on almost any gun I would think.

I used the medium on mine didn't want it sitting to high and if you go with the low it will not fit

I used a Leapers Accushot high mount, and it worked out to be a good fit. I've got a Beeman HW97K.

One 30 mm extra-high mount is what I used on the strikefire on my AR-15. This allowed co-witness with the back-up iron sights. One ring is all that is needed but again if used on an AR15 or AR10 platform you need something taller than a low ring.

Just eyeballed my old receiver rail mount which i dont use for the same reasons below,but if you were to use one I think you'd get away with it....just. I'd recommend the trigger mod as well....Google is your friend.Hope this helps.

It mounts very well, just take your time tapping it. I had an 88 also. Good luck!

I use the Celestron CGEM-DX mount. It is rated for 50 lbs. and has huge legs for max stability.When you start adding, camera DSLR, guidescope, cables, brackets, adapters, and heat strip the rating is essential.Balance and backlash knowledge comes with experience and patients for those tack sharp images this unit offers.There are other EQ mounts rated for 50lbs so look into those as well.

you will need to install a mag extension to use this mount. Once installed it works very well. I agree with others get the quick release

My scope came with the high rings which would be 22.6mm from the bottom of the scope tube to the top of the picatinny rail. Depends on your setup, but for something like a Remington 700 with a picatinny rail you will most likely want low 35mm rings.

Not sure which mount, most use see though mounts so they can still use the irons. Doing so tends to raise your cheek weld a little high off the stock in my opinion. Use whatever mounts are high enough to allow clear ejection of brass from the chamber.

There are different packages/versions you can buy. Different ones have different mounts.

I bought a NCStar pistol or scout scope 3-7 and it came with rings. You will notice when you mount your scope with the brass stacker that the scope sits really high up compared to a regular scope mount, but it is fine for me. So I would go with the lowest rings you can use as it will still be up high. No need to make it any higher than it has to be.

Both will do what they are designed to do. from all I've seen and heard, it's a personal preference. I do agree that the mounting system could use a good upgrading. Even using the dash mounting plate, it still falls off from time to time.

Sorry Don, I use it with a Lowrance 7. But if you go to the Ram and/or Hummingbird website it should tell you which mount to use. You wouldn't want one bigger than you need.

Mount on mount can be done , BUT the stability is bad and could cause injury. Its a chance I'm not willing to take.

It's an adjustable mount so either one will be fine. It comes with an Allen wrench so you can make it tight as possible.

8040's are awesome , that would be my pick over the two! Better wall mounting options.

Hi Alex. Thanks for answering my questions. I think that this mount sounds like it will work well for my purposes. I appreciate your help and look forward to reading your full review.
