Nikon Encore

Scope mounting question?

I have a T/C arms Encore and I just purchased a 28″ Pro hunter barrel and a Nikon 4-12×50 scope, how high do the rings need to be for me to mount it properly? I see them in low, medium and high.

I would be very suprised if it would fit in anything but high rings and not touch the barrel. This you definitely do not want. Use a little blue Loctitle or Guntite to each screw in the mount and rings to keep from loosening.

Good choice on gun and scope manufacturers! My favorites.

Don’t bother with the Ironsighter or any other see-through ring/mounts with this combination. With a 50 mm objective you will never see the open sights.

For those of you that don’t know your firearms, the Encore is a weapon that you can exchange the barrels by taking off the forearm, driving out the pivot pin and putting on a different barrel reassembling in the reverse order. Having said that, there is no action to mount the scope on, the scope remains mounted to the barrel when it is removed from the receiver.
