Wow! Thanks for all of the information everyone.

I go to work for 2 days and I come back to all of this!


I PM'd 338LM about his 3-15x42 SWFA SS scope - even though I probably won't NEED the higher magnifications.

Like I said, this rifle will be used to hit garbage lids at 500 yards and under, not trying to smash any golf balls at this time.



I've been looking at these scope rings: http://www.competitor.com/egw-30-mm-tactical-aluminum-scope-mount-rings.html

With a 42mm objective, do I need low, medium, or high? and are those good rings?

Also, where can I get a picatinny base for the mossberg patriot?

Should I purchase this picatinny rail or is there a better one at a comparable price?

Yeah, those seekins rings look very sturdy and I've used seekins rails before- they make good products

EGW also makes a decent rail, if your so inclined. 
If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

Any way to check before ordering? (I hate returns/the returns process)

With a little more research you would have realized that the Mossburg Night train comes configured  with Tactical Accessories. Saving the time and trouble of assembling a custom rig. Fitting your needs better than the Patriot. This would save money to be spent on training ammo.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
