Background: have a Custom GAP rifle on order, selected while lurking on these forums. Will come installed with a 20 MOA Badger mount for the scope rings, and resting in a McMillan A-5 w/ adjustable cheekweld. I intend to purchase a US Optics SN-3 3.2-17x(objective).
Problem: I have not find sufficient information, through just lurking, to order all the parts/accessories. Current snag is selecting the scope rings that will allow clearance of the objective, end bell, and at most a 2" sunshade. That is why I haven't specified the objective of the scope, because while I like the 58mm of the SN-3 Ergo, it may result in to much separation between the eye piece and the cheek weld, complicating the posture.
Road Block: I am in Japan on orders, so I don't have the opportunity to walk to gun store X and finagle with several items for fit and comfort. Going further, I transition straight from this command to a two year school/shore tour, so I would like to maximize the shooting opportunity by having everything ready by PRD, or as close as possible.
Primary question: Mostly, I am looking for anecdotal notes from folks with set ups similar to the above, stating that XXX rings work, or something.
Side note: I am currently split between the SN-3 ERGO and TPAL, and any comments in comparison would also be appreciated.
Disclaimer: Yes, I have very few posts. Yes, I am dropping a fair chunk of change. However, please don't pass me off as the guy that shows up with all the shiny equipment just to look cool.
