Hello there,
This is my first post and I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to everybody who contibutes because I have learned heaps reading the posts.

I finally bought my first big bore rifle, a Ruger RSM in 458 Lott. Second hand but in very good condition with great wood, a Pachmayer recoil pad, trigger job and bedding of the action. I think at full throttle it DOES recoil heavily and there is only so much of that fun I can experience in one sitting.

My question is i would like to mount a scope at the lowest height permissable and use warne quick dettachable rings but looking at the rear quarter rib, it doesn't leave a lot of room for objective lenses......So, could owners of these rifles please tell me of their scope and ring config's especially if using the warne quick dettach rings in the lowest size.

The scope i am ideally interested in is a 2.5x8 v3 leupold. With this scope i can use it more frequently as a hunting rifle and hopefully become more proficient with it. I realise it may not be the classic scope for this rifle.

Looking forward to your replies.
