Hello,
Have found a lot of great advice here as well as a fabulous for sale/trade section which has led me to purchase a TRG-22 from a forum member in 6.5 CM.
So that'll be on the way to me soon. Budget and price/performance led me to choose the Vortex AMG scope to run on the TRG; it seems to be really good bang for the buck...I don't need the additional range of the 4.5-27, and, to be honest, since I'm not likely to be shooting this THAT much (ranges are far away, but I still want quality equipment), the extra grand for the ATACRS didn't seem logical for me.
So that leaves rings - I'm not sure exactly where to start on that. There are many manufacturers, there seem to be one piece and two-piece options, different heights, etc. I'm not sure exactly where to start on that. I know I need rings to match the tube diameter as on other scopes I already own but I'm used to Bobro one-piece QR mounts on sporting rifles and haven't ever done a precision rifle setup. Height is basic math and I can certainly figure that out but I'd sure appreciate some advice on what to look for...something that isn't maybe best of the best (with matching price) but will allow me to get the most out of the equipment I'm purchasing. Probably brand and one vs two piece would be my biggest questions.
I value not having to screw around; I'm glad to spend a little more if it means it's easier to use or goes together more easily or allows less hassle in some way. I'd prefer to be able to mount my optic and go shooting w/o having to worry about it not holding up.
Resale is important to me to some degree in case I ever need to sell because I need the money. I like to buy used but this is not a requirement, especially on something that holds its value well.
I also value a setup that looks 'right' on the rifle as aesthetics are part of what I appreciate about quality firearms.
Thanks for your input/advice.
