Swaro says 3.74” and I’m around 3”, the reason I went with the Z5 was because getting a scope to sit right on a No.1 is not an easy chore these days with the short bodies that everyone is producing. Mark actually mounted a couple scopes up on a No.1 he has in the shop. He could have just as easily just sold me the Leupold I was wanting to put on it and let me figure out that it wasn’t the ideal scope for the rifle. The VX5 wouldn’t set back far enough, causing you to have to lose cheekweld as you went up in power. This scope allows your face to sit in the same spot every time all the way through the power range. Now I just got to kill an elk with it. I would have preferred a smaller objective but this 50mm is going to work just fine on the Ruger.
Shipping scopes international is highly illegal
You are completely incorrect about that. If a company or even an individual has the right export documentation they can legally ship out of country. Tons do, how do you think we end up with Leupold scopes, Ruger and Remington rifles here in Canada. Brownelles, Hammer Bullets and a large number of others have the export documentation in place, just asking if these guys do.
