[QUOTE="CS T, post: 220240, member: 2585"] Here is a photo of the NF Direct Mount. If this is the mount you are talking about then NO you will not be able to add the ADIMT (Angle Degree Indicator) nor a bubble level. [img]http://www.nightforceoptics.com/RINGS__BASES___MOUNTS/mountsdirectmountL.jpg[/img] Also I would recommend getting the 50mm over the 56mm because you will not really notice the difference. The average size of a human’s eye pupil at night is 7 mm and in daylight it is about 4mm on average. If the optic give you a 7mm of exit pupil and you are using it for day use more than half the light will not reach the retina. I have also noticed if you are getting too much light and you look away you see light spots were ever you look and the targets look washedout. On a lot of my scopes I use a light reducer so I do not get the light spots and the washout is not there. Size of bell divided by magnification = exitpupil. Hare are some examples. 56/22x=2.54mm 56/5.5x=10.18mm 50/22x=2.27mm 50/5.5x=9.09mm The sweet spots for the 56 and the 50mm at Night and Day use. 50/7.14x = 7mm night use and for day use 50/12.5x = 4mm 56/8x = 7mm night use and for day use 56/14x = 4mm You are really not get much advantage over the 50mm. I feel there is a bigger disadvantage and that is you have to go with tall rings 1.00” at the low to 1.25” were the 50mm you can do 0.885”. Hope this helps.
