[QUOTE="dcgayhart, post: 1640412, member: 110187"] I've been a good pistol shooter my entire life, rifle not so much. Long range rifle shooting has been on my "bucket list" for a while now. I been shooting an M4 carbine for years but that's not a long range rifle. I loved to shoot steel from my Handgun Metallic Silhouette days so I'm joining the Cowtown Range in Peoria AZ. They have steel targets out to about 1500 yards! I purchased a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. [URL]https://www.ruger.com/products/precisionRifle/specSheets/18054.html[/URL] I also bought a Vortex Viper Scope.

What scope mounts do I use. I read the Vortex Precision Matched Rings 30-126 or the 30-145 were the best choices? I have a GG&G BiPod but I need to adapt it to M-Lok mounts, no big problem there.
