I'm looking for an optic for my bolt action rifle and have pretty much finalized on the NX8 2.5-20 Mil XT reticle. This is a gen purpose rifle, my only .308 bolt action, and will primarily be used for plinking out to 800 yards (with a good deal at 100-200 yards) and some limited hunting. I have selected this optic based on weight, price, (reported) durability, and my previous experience with the NX8 1-8 LPVO.
I believe my rifle has a 0 MOA pic rail. To accommodate shooting out to 800, should I consider a 20 MOA mount? And what is my lightest option? I was considering a Scalarworks mount because of the weight and I really like my existing one, but I'm wondering if a non-QD mount or even rings could shave more weight off. I really won't use the QD feature at all if I'm being honest about it.
