You'll probably get responses here but you should also go post this in our Optics section. We definitely have people who have experience with the big objective scopes. Pop into the Introduction section and tell us a little about yourself too!

Most scope manufacturers will list the largest objective they can handle. Should be fine with a standard 1.5ish" rail to center. I usually make a little spacer out of cardboard or something to test the height of a scope before I order the mount and make sure it's in a comfortable spot. Just remember some manufacturers measure from the rail to the bottom of the ring, and some measure from the rail to the center point if the ring. Adjust accordingly.

Jacob, what did you use for a charging handle?
