Amazeballs - but thats comparing it to the x44 objective on my .22

Hey I've been thinking about getting one of these for a while, they look pretty massive and probably only really suited to certain situations and range, what size mounts can you get away with? will they mount with usual AR type 30mm one piece or is objective too big?
Be quite nice scope for doing load tests at range.

Top rifle, in case you couldn't tell
Running one of them PEPR mount things.
It's a heavy scope. But its on a heavy rifle. The build plan for that rifle was for something I could sit on top of a hill and pop hares off at range - or use from back of truck with bipod while spotlighting.
