Which route to go with a 22LR ELR™ project I am working on

[TheGerman]

I have the CZ455 in the Manners stock that I shoot 300+ yards with that I was considering mounting a Radius Rangefinder on in order to simply get rid of any ever so small range discrepancies. At 200+ even being 2-3 yards off on the target will get you a miss, so why not.

I have 2 options on how to do this and wanted to see which route you guys would go.

Option 1:

Take off Badger rings and get the Badger ring set with the rail made for a LRF on the front which allows you to mount it above the optic.

Option 2:

Keep everything as it is, and install a Badger Embedded Front Rail (EFR) and mount the LRF on one of the side rails. Bonus here will be that I can now put my PVS24 or PVS30 infront of the optic for night time 22LR fun as well. Con is that it requires in-letting the stock which damages the stock permanently as well as costs extra.

I would do the EFR as it would keep about the same basic profile to the rifle, above the scope would get in the way. Also a big concern would be weight distribution, you would notice the added weight much more above the scope. Out front at least you are putting weight on the center line of the rifle and over the bipod when shooting prone. Just my .02
