Mount for Sightron SIII 1-7x24 Scope

[Mik123]

I just bought a Sightron SIII 1-7x24 scope for my ACR. I was initially thinking of buying a Bobro mount for it. However, I also have a 375 H&H bolt action on order and I would like to have the option of using the same scope for both firearms. I was hoping to get some suggestions as to what is the best way to do this? I was thinking of just getting a picatinny rail base for the 375 H&H and then I could just move the scope and rings between the two and resight. Are there any better options?

Thanks,

Mik

I am not too familiar with the ACR, but I am familiar with 375's so I will give me $0.02 worth.

Your idea is not a bad one except for the height of the scope. If I were to take the scope off my AR, using the same mount, and put it on my 375, the scope would be way too high for a proper cheek weld. The 375 is not a super hard kicker, but it is not a 223 either. I am about 170 lbs and I find I can put 10-15 rounds downrange before I start to get fatigued. Without a proper cheek weld, I think this would add up quicker. Now, if the ACR had the some drop as your 375 bolt gun, then this would be a viable option, other than the cost of resighting the 375 every time you swapped the scope around.

Another option would be to use low rings and put a riser on the ACR if it is needed.

Every rifle needs it's own optic.
I have my Leupold mark AR 3-9x40 in a Burris PEPR QD mount on my ACR and it's at the perfect height. It was only $400ish plus another $130ish for the mount.
I'm not sure what I would put on a 375 but if you can afford it buy another Sightron 1-7 and I'm sure you'd be happy.
The SIII 1-7 will be my next scope purchase as I've been wanting one for a while but don't have the cash to get one yet.

Thanks for the advice guys. The more I read about it the more it looks like it won't work (especially sharing a scope between an acr/ar and a bolt action). I'll just go with my original plan for the and just scope the acr.
