Did you use low or medium height rings??  And does anyone make rings in Mossy Oak Infinity camo??  Thanks.

Not the Leupold, but I've mounted Pentax Lighter 2.5X's (similar size scope) on a few guns. On the ones with a rail base I've used Leupold PRW mounts. These are a little heavier, but very solid and reliable.

I did have one gun drilled to use the Tally LW One Piece Rings and used Lows on that rig. Nothing wrong with it, but I went back to a rail with weaver-style rings on that rig too.

It comes down to your cheek weld and being comfortable with the position of the scope. Try it from a sitting position and in odd positions to see what works best for you. The mediums seem to fit the bill for me, but honestly there isn't a lot of difference in the two.

To answer your question on the Infinity rings, here is an option

Thanks.  I'll be mounting this scope on a 20 gauge Super X3 Cantilever barrel. :OGturkeyhead:

In that case, unless it sits lower than most cantilever mounts I've seen, you may be better off with lows.
