Tangent Theta 5-25x56 or ZCO 5-27 would be a great choice on that one

Awesome
I’m asking because I’m putting one on a tango which I believe is a fixed non adjustable cheek piece and should I go with low or medium height 34mm rings for the s&b us optic to ensure perfect cheek placement
Why I bought two can’t wait to get them
I may buy a thirdI own a Tango and a SB 3-20US. They are not mounted together. With that said, I personally don’t feel that is a good scope choice for the Tango. The ocular diameter on the SB is too big and trying to mount it low enough to get a good cheek weld without impacting bolt manipulation might be a problem (since the tango has no cheek height adjustment). Personally, I feel the SFP NF NXS series, NF atacr series or SB 5-35 as a better choice.
forgot to add, I do think the new NF NX8 series to be the best option. 30mm tube can be mounted low and is a good size considering the overall length of the Tango. I currently have a NF NXS 2.5-10x42 on my tango for hunting but will probably move to a NX8 2.5-20.
For reference, here is my Tango 51 (top) with NF NXS 2.5-10x42 in NF 0.885 30mm rings. Also, have my Sierra 260 (bottom) with NF 3.5-15x50 F1 in NF 0.885 30mm rings. On the Sierra, due to the thicker barrel profile, it is a tight fit but works. I don’t think you would have a issue running a TT in a 0.885 ring height on a tango with the thinner barrel. Not sure of options with ARC rings but I would definitely try to stay below a 1” height. Go as low as you can.
I assume the TT 3-15M runs the tenebraex covers like the P models I have. Those are thick. Personally, for me, getting the scope as low as I can for a good cheek weld is more important than worrying about caps. If the caps don’t fit, run a scope coat. I would go 0.94” at max if stuck with ARC brand. Personally, I would use the NF 0.885” rings to be a little lower. I don’t think the 0.79” ARC rings will fit.
That’s fuckin awesome
mike knows his shit that’s for sure a piece of functional art 🖼 impressed as always

My favorite is still the "old school" PMII 5-25[56] 0.1 MIL CCW with Gen 2 XR. Environmental conditions allowing, the Gen 2 XR's .075"/100 yard line width subtension means a line width of .750"/1000 yards, allowing "quartering" 1/2 MOA targets!
My 22" barrel X-Ray 51 & 26" barrel X-Ray 66 both have 45 MOA Two Piece Bases & PMII 5-25[56] 0.1 MIL CCW Gen 2 XRs:
Take a close look inside the "O" in "Operations". What reticle do you see inside the "O"?:

They do not have the brake, I asked Mike to add that. The SEB uses Mike's suppressor
Thanks for the clarification.
Was very curious since that would go against almost all other user standards for rifles slotted to that role.

Anyone know how mike shoots groups like these? I get that the rifles shoot really well, but there is no way I could shoot a group a like that even if the rifle is capable of it. Does he put them in a mount or are these bagged in on a bench? Just curious.
I would pay to see that video. (not for evidence that he is that good, but just to feel bad about myself.)
Here’s one that can make ya feel bad but also good at the same time...shot by hide members with one of Mike’s rifles
hope mine gets here before the end of deer season, would love to have it on our annual doe slaying weekend
NO MOUNT, just a front rest with sandbag, rear sandbag, FGMM ammo, and a lot of skill.

Well Damn. For any of you that has one...is it frustrating seeing that little group on cardboard in the gun room after each range trip, knowing you will be always chasing it?
For me - no. Some days I can get close to what Mike can do with his rifles, other days I can't. I just enjoy taking them out each time, whether it's at 100 yards or 500 yards.
I find shooting my Tac Ops is boring for shooting groups. It's so damn accurate that the groups are always small. For shooting groups I like shooting with one of my .22 lrs. Makes you slow down and really concentrate on your mechanics. Also, it's great fun with the fam because the wife and kids can shoot with me.
Added a brake to my Lima 51 and shot it with my son @ a 100 Yard indoor range...
Using a quick load of 168 SMK and 43.5 grains of Varget, not a load worked up for this gun.

Using FGMM brass and CCI BR2 and #200 primers. I just picked up 900 CCI #250 LR magnum primers that I'll try out.
@MikeRTacOps so I’m at my house wrapping Christmas gifts and i had a random thought. When your wrapping presents to you line the wrapping paper up too???
