It will go on a DSA SA-58 18" with the DSA Heavy Duty Scope Mount.

The farthest I've shot was 500 yards with the irons.
Past that I don't know how accurate it is.
I have been told it should do 600, maybe 700, but that'd be it.

I've been looking at the Leupold MR/T 2.5-8x36 with some type of quick release mount.
Maybe a Larue.

I'd appreciate any opinions on the scope choice, the mount and reticle.

For what it's worth I do have long range shooting experience.

Thanks.

I've been using a 2-12x32 IOR on my DSA.  No complaints other than that I have a very slight amount of 'fisheye' when in the extreme lower magnification settings.  Once I hit 3x and up, it's all good.


I wanted an optic that would allow for some useful magnification out to 700+ yds but still work for up close--the IOR has suited my needs beautifully.  The fisheye hasn't caused me any problems either....just a minor annoyance at first.  I don't even notice it now.

I've rarely had the chance to go beyond 200 (Fd up political saga at an area range...) but I am very happy with my 4x Hensoldt, ARMS adaptor and weaver cover. The elevation dial is cammed for 100m intervals to keep it simple for a MBR, and the Stadia line reticle never blocks anything out.

If it wasn't my money, I'd get the Nightforce 3.5-15x50.  Reticle in second plane, it does not change size when changing powers.  

The only scope manf. that guarantees their scope to be waterproof.

I'm thinking of getting one of the IOR Tactical scopes eithe 4x24 or 6x30
