Ok, so fitting a Yukon Photon NV Scope, it looks like a normal scope with 30mm tube so some high mounts and a weaver rail and you are sorted right? Well, not necessarily as it happens and before you go ordering mounts, you should check the following.
If you look at the length of the Yukon NV, it is approximately 440mm, around the same length as a normal scope, but what you forget is that when we use a normal scope we expect 3-4" 'eye-relief' to guard against recoil and gives us a nice comfortable head position.
To use the Yukon however, you must have your eye against the rubber cup which is 3-4" further away than you are used to, in my case with my CZ455, I found it almost impossible to position my eye to the scope with the stock in my shoulder and thats without a thick coat on, yes I do have a bit of a stiff neck, but this has never been a problem for me before, so all I am saying is, before you replace your normal scope, try using it with your eye touching the end and see how comfortable this is, if it feels ok you should be fine, if you find yourself craning your neck, buy the Yukon SW-30 mount which sets the scope further back and makes it comfortable to use.
