OK. I plan to break the $200 mark, and go with a Leupold. They get allot of good recommendations in the forums.
My problem now is: do I go with Browning's mounting system?

or with Leupold's?

Or some other mount system. the above seem to follow the "in the same family" line of thought.
Any positive or negative history with either of these?
Also, I have the Matte vs Gloss finish decision. Any recommendations for the BAR, based on what you went with? I don't have an example in front of me so not sure how polished the blueing is. the stock is gloss though.
Thanks for your thoughts on this.

hehe, sounds like you're going through the exact same thing I went through. which Leupold scope did you decide on? seriously though, I don't think you can go wrong with a Leupold scope.
regarding mounts/rings, since you plan on going with a Leupold scope it would make sense to go with their set of mounts & rings. I plan on using Leupold mounts/rings on my Browning.
going with matte versus gloss is a tough call. my A-Bolt has a nice high polished stock, so I wound up going with a gloss Leupold scope to match the rifle. however, i'm not sure if I should also be going with gloss mounts and rings as well. I guess i'm afraid my rifle will be too shiney when out in the field and that it could potentially be a handicap. at the same time, I doubt a deer will spot my shiney rifle/scope if i'm wearing a flourescent orange hat and vest.
