Anyone here have experience with Mueller scopes, or anything using a 50mm objective? I have heard that the picture is noticeably clearer compared to even a 40mm, but have no actual experience of this. As a matter of fact, the entire scoping process seems extraordinarily complicated. Does anyone here have any knowledge of scoping a 91 or maybe I should take this to a battle rifle or hk forum?
I am looking at this mount from b-square

It allows co-witnessing and gets favorable reviews elsewhere. I am concerned about whether it can handle a 50mm scope and also if it is going to place me ridiculously high on the rifle.
Another alternative is one made by aimpoint which is much lower, although it does block out the irons. Again, I don't know if it will handle a 50mm though it does hold a 40 with room to spare. Not that much difference, right?
Quick detach rings from these guys get favorable reviews, though heavy:

Anyone care to comment?
Anything you would care to contribute relevant to this subject is much appreciated, as I have not had to go through this before. My idea is to find a weaver base with a quick detach, that way it can mount up to another weaver base that I already own for a different rifle. If any of this is confusing, I apologize. I haven't slept enough lately. Must be this scope thing, keeping me up all night!
