Hi bewsher
I have had a measure up, there is a fair gap required to release the retaining barrel wedge lands end, I have a set of high mounts, I think it will be tight, but I will try it with the NV rather than the scope as that will have the tightest tolerance to the barrel
I have always kept any scope as close to the barrel as possible for obvious reasons.
High mounts may work, I will certainly give it a go and see if it works
if it does, dosh saved big time
cheers atb
