Hi all new to the group.
I am finishing up a LMT MWS 308 build. I haven't really seen anyone doing something like this so figured I would see what the feedback was. I have a TA11 Acog with donut of death reticle, QD mounted and plan on using that for most things with this LMT. However I also have a bolt action Montana X2 and wanted to see if there was a way to share an optic with both my LMT and my Montana. In case I want to shoot further out with the LMT on the range.
I found a killer deal on a S&B Polar 96 2.5-10 with a Zeiss ZM rail mount. These are very common in Europe but never really caught on in the US, which I never understood. Great thing with this setup is no need for scope rings, so using pic rail mounts on my bolt action, I can swap between my LMT and Montana, without needing to change a thing with the scope mount. QD mount lines up perfectly on both platforms. I needed to get a cheek riser for the bolt action but I actually like it better that way anyways so it all worked out.
Only issue will be needed to zero the scope each time but I am curious to see how off it will actually be between the two.
Thoughts? Thanks!
