Yes....I used the Barrett #13323 Rigid Scope Rings 30mm,1.3" high.........congrats on your new purchase....you'll love the M82a1Thanks for this thread, just got my first M82A1, and everyone’s information was incredibly helpful! MR. HotRod, what kind of rings did you use, Barret?
i concur, S&B is good ****. Snipershide is a good place to find good quality used gear. Do your homework to ensure you have a good experiance.My suggestion is Schmidt Bender, and if you shop around, you should be able to find a used one for under $2k. My second choice would be NightForce. I’ve only owned a couple, but the optics were good. They’re supposed to be a rugged scope that can take heavy recoil.
You should check Euro Optics, because they run specials and also have a used scope selection.
Hello, sorry for a very late reply thread, but I’m looking for a clone correct scope ring set for the m82a1. I have a Leupold mk 4.5-14, but am unsure what scope rings were issued with the ones the military got their hands on. Could you point me in the right direction?Well, the issue scope for the M82 was the Leupold Mark4 4.5-14x. They're under $2k and you can still find them used. Just hunt around. Leupold doesn't make the Mark 4 series any longer except for Military contracts and special orders in quantity. I'd look at the Mark 4 replacement or similar (VX-3HD 4.5-14x40 Side Focus CDS-ZL Wind-Plex) . There are plenty of others that you can get from them that are under $2K and for that gun, a 5-25x would be ideal but anything 14x and over works well.
Second to that, I'd look at a Nightforce or even one of the Vortex Razor HDs (only the Razor HD); Meopta and Zeiss are good alternatives. Meopta is the LOW of the European scope market and makes scopes for a lot of folks.
Most other scopes are substandard. Just remember that in the scope world, you get what you pay for and putting a cheap optics on an $8k gun makes it as cheap as the optic. The exception to this is the S&B PMII...you couldn't pay me to take one of those.
8 Moa red dot for quick target acquisition in cqb. Just the thought of it makes me laugh.

Np. Just remember that the Army used the Leupold 4.5-14x with those mounts (Issued with the gun) but the Marines used a Nightforce and so did the Navy (couple different ones) and they used a myriad of rings...ARMS #22, Leupolds, Badger, etc. JOS loaned guns had Swarovski fixed 10x with a ballistics Christmas tree to 2500m and the NFO, and had whatever rings...usually ARMS and Leupold.Awesome man Thank you so much!!
