    Rifle Scopes Mounting height.

    Just recently put my scope on my rifle and think I may have gone with the wrong height rings.

I know...

    Rifle Scopes Ring height for a 50mm scope?

    I know this has been asked to death, but will a Bushnell 4200 with a 50mm objective and Butler Creel caps fit on a Remington 700 varmint barrel with a 15moa base using medium height rings? I am about to put the SPS Varmint contour stock that came on it up for trade but need to be sure to ask...

    Rifle Scopes Ring height effect?

    I got my Leupold back after getting the erector repaired. I mounted it on a 20moa base on my Anschutz .22. I used some Leupold QRW rings I had. The rings are medium height. The height of the base plus medium rings puts the scope higher than I like. I will get some low rings soon. I have always...

    Rifle Scopes What height rings -- 56mm Ojective and 45 MOA base

    Pardon me, I know I asked this before, but damn if I can find it... What size Badger rings (or other brands if that is your experience) do you need with a 56mm objective lens scope and a 45 MOA base in order for the objective to clear the barrel (big fat barrel). Anyone with actual or even...

    How to figure the right ring height??

    This is a generic question - I'm trying to figure out what ring height to use for a rifle build, and since I am going to be building a few different ones, I thought I'd address the issue generically first (and then ask stupid follow-up questions). What are the factors to consider and how do you...

    Well, I ordered the Wotac. Now I need rings and want to get the right height Burris, either medium or low. But I am not sure of the height of my base. Is there any way to measure how high they are to see what MOA? Also, it is a 2 piece and it is marked L36 in the rear and L46 in the front. I...

    Rifle Scopes Heritage Objective clearance. Ring height ???

    Gents, As I understand it, Premier's own front fip caps require some additional height clearance. For those lucky enough to have a Heritage mounted up, I'm curious to know what rings work with your specific base and barrel contour... My app. is for a Rem700SA, Seekins 20 MOA base, Rem Varmint...

    I am getting ready to order a set of Badger Rings for a Permier Heritage DT 3-15. It will be going on my GAP 308 with heavy Obermeyer barrel.

    Rifle Scopes What height rings for AR

    First AR and has A3 top and I want to keep as low profile as I can with a 44 or possibly 50MM scope. May end up with a fitty so could I use the same rings for both. If not what is the best option for both? May go with the Bushy 6500 tactical when it comes out but haven't decided on mag yet.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR ring height question

    Gents, I need some feedback before I buy. I have a Rem 700 with varmint contour. Will the low Burris XTR rings give me enough clearance between scope and barrel using a 20 MOA rail? Or do I need to use mediums? The scope is a Nikon Monarch 6.5-20x44.
