Time has come to purchase a scope mount. The mount I'm going to be ordering will be a Bobro. The scope is going to be a Nightforce NXS 1-4x24 wearing a cat tail. I actually ordered the extended mount from Rainier yesterday. It wasn't until AFTER I placed the order that I noticed in pictures that the cat tail and the aft section of the extended mount may very not work together, as they may take up the same space. I immediately emailed Rainier and asked them not to ship the order until I got confirmation. Much to my surprise I got an email from John Hwang TODAY in reply. The only reason I say "surprise" is because it's Sunday! John didn't know if it would fit because he didn't have a Nightforce on hand. He did offer to let me try it, and then refund my money if it doesn't fit.
THAT is customer service.
However, for their sake as well as mine, I would prefer to make the right order the first time. So back to my quandary.
Does anyone know if a cat tail on a NXS 1-4 will clear a Bobro extended mount? Do I even NEED the extended mount? The non extended Bobro already appears to stick out pretty far. The reason I picked the extended mount was actually just to have a little more room to play with eye relief to find the sweet spot. I'm using a VLTOR MUR upper and a DD Lite Rail. Despite having a continuous top rail I would like the mount to stay on the receiver if possible.
