Others Benchrest HEAVY scope; Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 - question

[Awl In]

I could use the weight on my Avenge X, and I just happen to have the Vortex Razor HD2 4.5-27 in my aresenal. Any thoughts on mounting it for benchrest work?

Weight is good for benchrest, unless you’re shooting in the events that have weight limits. I have a Discovery 4-25 ED on the Marauder. It’s a heavy beast, but all of my high mag scopes are. I had the Athlon 15-60 Ares on it at first. The 40x calibration is perfect for 50yds. But, my rings were too high for 50yds. I don’t know anything about Vortex scopes, but it sounds like it would be a great match for 50-100yds benchrest.

Hmm. So this isn't too far out of the realm. I think I'll break it out and give it a try. Thanks Bill.
