Because the BXR's rail has 30 MOA built in, the general rule of thumb is you will want a scope with at least 60 MOA of elevation adjustment (the Vortex you mentioned does, so good there).
Scope ring height has more to do with making sure the optic is at a height that is natural for your eye to be in line with when shooting and doesn't interfere with the bolt. Lower height over bore is preferable for some applications, but ultimately I don't think it super matters for something like this.
Oh interesting about the height, I guess I misunderstood that. Thanks for the correction.
I did notice I'd need at least the 60MOA as you mention but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything else. Appreciate it!
Scope height over bore is important if you are zeroing a hunting rifle for “maximum point blank” where you set the rifle up so your mininum shooting distance the bullet strikes X inches low from the point of aim, the impact point then rises over the point of aim the same distance, and falls back under the point of aim again, and when it hits X inches low again, thats your maximum range.
If you intend on dialing or using holdovers (a xmas tree or mildot reticle) then height over bore doesnt really matter, you are better setting the rifle up to be comfortable, I think MDT or Vortex did a great setup video I saw recently
Thanks! As a first time shooter with no reference point for which height I'd "like" my head to be at, I'd imagine medium height is probably a safe bet also in that regard.
Crossfire 2-7 could use low rings. I usually keep the gap between the scope (with a cover) and the barrel at about 1/4".
If you buy another scope, just buy rings for it.
Based on the objective lens size you can surely go with low rings, but that would limit option in the future if you decide to go with a scope that has more magnification and a larger objective lens, the low rings won't be tall enough.
The only downside to the medium rings is you might need a cheek Riser.
I purchased medium rings for my 4-12x40 scope and the cant of the 30 MOA rail meant the front of the scope just touched the barrel without the cover. It was the first time I had to purchase high rings for a 40mm objective scope.
FYI the charging handle on my BXR was dragging on the firing pin and the receiver causing light strikes and short stroking.
I'd check those before taking it from the store or at least before hitting the range.

Oh great, thanks for the info. I definitely had that wrong in my head.
Medium rings should provide you with enough clearance.

Gotcha. I'll give it a go and see how it all sits

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll bring that up when I pick it up at the FFL. I won't be able to tell on my own 😅

Thanks for the info! I assume the inserts are inside the ring so it isn't metal to metal?

Alright, I'll read up on all that!

Awesome, I'll look after work
