So I have been tasked by a relative to setup his .17 Varmint Express with an optic. I will be purchasing a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32 unless there's a better, cheaper (the Vortex can be had for just over $100) option for him. What rings (and possibly base?) do I need to make that setup work?
I'm about as unfamiliar with lever actions as you can get.

Burris has a good rimfire in 3x9. Are you mounting a pic rail or using the dovetail?

Some people don’t like a pic rail on a lever. Dip makes a rail for Henry rifles. Tallly makes great dovetail rings that will not ned the pic rail. I had to go through this with my daughter and her lever action.
