Re: what mount for SPR with a NF 2.5-8x32??
From JT505th's post a ways back
<span style="font-style: italic">
My findings:
- The 2.5-10x32 in the SPR-S mount weighs just 1.45 lbs.
I don't have a digital scale to give you an exact weight for the 2.5-10x24 in the SPR-E mount, but according to the scale needle it weighs a few ounces less than the 2.5-10x32 in the SPR-S mount.
- The 30mm tube will allow the optic to be mounted as close to the upper receiver rail as possible. I recommend the SPR-S mount. However, if you plan to run BUIS, then go with the SPR-E mount.
- Cheek/stock weld is excellent using both optics with either mount. However, the SPR-S lowers the optic and in my opinion provides the perfect cheek/stock weld.
- Eye relief on both optics is excellent. No issues. You can mount the scope with the ocular farther forward (toward the muzzle) and run both optics NTCH. You can go from 2.5x to 10x with no cheek/stock weld adjustment required.
- Illumination: both optics are illuminated. One consideration to keep in mind; the illumination, when placed in the 'on' position gives you the brightest setting, NOT the lowest setting.
Both optics work well, with the same features and almost the same weight when mounted. I would buy another 2.5-10x32.
