HW30S scope mount question

[wheel]

I am waiting on my new HW30s to arrive and would llike some advice please.  I have a Hawke 3-9X40 AO scope and not sure which mount I should order so that I have it here when the rifle arrives.  I am not sure whether I need to order a droop compensating mount with rings or just pick up a good set of rings.  If I need only rings, would they have to be high profile for the 40MM AO scope?  Thank you in advance for any help and advice.

While I can't personally answer your question, I would call Pyramid Air, they have been very knowledgeable and helpful in the past.

High mounts aren't necessary with 40 mm. Medium would be fine.
Not sure if you need droop comp tho.
If you call PA dial ext 262 and ask Tyler Patner. He's a member here and very knowledgable and helpful.

As set of med rings is perfect ...ran the same setup .

Thanks Petey, are you using just rings or a droop compensating mount.  I have not read too much about barrel droop on the 30

[Petey]

Never used a droop mount.... I give the barrel an attitude adjustment....
 Mount up your scope and shoot.......if you're more than 20 clicks off...reset the turrets and shim the back the scope and try it again.......Hopefully you will be shooting out too 20-25 yards or greater.

HAppy SHootin! & Congrats on the 30s!  You're going to love it.
