What scope mount is that - I have a SAI Gen3 but am having trouble with my rings shifting on it. Guess that I will have to go Sadlak someday.

SAI mounts are known for that, I have a Sadlak. Its the aluminum version but never had any issues with it. I bought it used or probably would have gone with the steel mount. If you have a Curio Relics license you can get a discount at Midway USA on the mounts. If they dont have the version you want in their catalog they will order it for you

Scope sells for $600 +$160 for the rings +Duracoat. The guy couldnt sell it, I suppose the Duracoat turned some people off. I got it for $300 shipped so I couldnt passs it up

Yes it was alittle more :)
If you are thinking about the Bushnell ,it doesnt have a adjustable AO

I had a Fullfield II on the rifle before and was OK but wanted something better
