This is my first bolt rifle build and I need some experienced input on this decision.
Bergara Premier HMR Pro
20MOA Seekins Precision rail and Seekins Precision medium height 30mm rings
Trijicon AccuPoint 4-24x50
Everything went together perfectly, no bedding needing. Ring height was perfect (.125" barrel clearance), until I tried to screw on the front flip cap...
Since these Trijicon flip caps screw onto the front or the sun-shade, instead of pressing on, I need about .49" clearance to be able to add or remove it whenever I want.
That would require Seekins Precision Extra High rings (1.26") instead of the mediums.
Should I just use the included clear bikini caps with the medium (.87") rings or is it worth going extra high to use the flip caps? Any downside to using extra high rings?
Thank you for any advice or thoughts on this decision.
