Scope and mount recommendations

[tahoet]

I'm getting back into BR shooting after a long period. So Im purchasing a Rem 40XB KS in a 7mm SAUM caliber. I'm very excited and can't wait for it's arrival. So I have been researching scopes and mounts like crazy. I really like the Nightforce BRs but am looking for some help? Also can't figure out which mounts as well? Thanks in advance for all your help...

Make sure you have enough eye relief with the NF BR scopes. The 10X42X56 BR is a great scope and mine was fine when I was shooting a 6BR but I cut myself a bunch of times when I started shooting a 284 Shehane barrel. Sold the scope and bought an NXS which has much more eye relief. Not likely to be a problem if you are shooting the SAUM with a muzzle brake. My rifles are 22 pound F-Open guns without brakes.

Thanks,
I will check out the picatanney and Burris mounts.

Such a big price difference between the NXS and BR. Is it worth it? At that price point should I be looking into a S & B?
