[QUOTE="adamb390, post: 462755, member: 28371"] Hey everyone, well im slowly but surely getting all the info i need to set up my new Sendero SF 2 in 7mm rem mag, a few days ago i ordered a jewell trigger set at 1lb. for it, and the proper torque t handle to reinstall my h.s. precision stock to 65 in/lbs., after i get the trigger in. I have decided to go ahead and spend the money and get a 3.5-15 nightforce scope, but when i talked to the tech. at NF he said i should go with a 56mm objective instead of the 50mm i had planned on. He told me that i should mount it with the shortest ring height they have which is .885.....which he said should be enough clearance for the 56mm objective. I was reading through some posts last night, and it seems like i read where someone had a sendero with the exact same setup-the low rings and 56mm objective, they said it cleared but they had to cut out the bottom of the objective dust cover that slides over it. I dont mind going with the 56mm, but i dont want my scope that close to the barrel, where i have to cut on whatever objective cover i get.
