My only issue with the D&T process is I really don't need a new scope. LOL I just want a new scope. My MKII has feed more animals their last meal of terminal impact using an old BuckMaster scope circa 1990's. It wasn't until a few years after 2010 that I got a decent Ziess as an upgrade. That one worked for just as well in the last few years. I was thinking of dropping a 30mm tube Vortex on the top with a 50mmOBJ. Maybe I'll just keep the Ruger as is so the Vortex can ride the Encore.
I was able to decipher the Ruger site a little bit. They show for a 30mm tube, 52mm OBJ to run a high front ring with an extra high rear ring. I'll look at the Leupold site.
