I just purchased a Browning Acera in .300 Win Mag. Can someone tell me what scope mounts work on this rifle? It appears to be very similar to the BAR, but the local gun shop cannot tell which bases will work.

Thanks,

  From Browning's website:
  
  "In 1999 another variation, the Acera, made its U.S. debut. Originally developed for the European market, this straight-pull bolt-action design based on the BAR hit the U.S. market with minimal fanfare. The BPR and Acera are among the rarest of BAR variations and highly sought-after by Browning collectors."
  
  This indicates that you can use the BAR scope base and any rings for that base that trip your trigger. I know Leupold makes some but I'll bet others do also.
  
  Best.

  Thank you nononsense! I looked on the website but didn't find anything definitive. I'll head into the big city and up bases and rings.

  I think the bar bases should fit, I could give you a definite answer but that would require taking two scopes off.

  Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  The Acera uses the same base as the BAR.
  
  I purchased a Leupold base and rings.

  Hope you enjoy it, mine works great. Have to give give it some force when close the action, but the bars can be like that to.

  I waited until there was 'closure' to this string prior to my post..as I noticed one on the auctions, and judging by what has already been said (rarity, etc.), this may very well be a good deal for someone to consider. Here's the link, folks! Joe
