I was wondering if someone could tell me which badger ordance rings would work on a Surgeon remedy 338 Lapua with a 30moa base for a hensoldt 6-24x72mm 34mm tube. Thanks in advance. If there is something that works better than Badger rings Im open to suggestions.

Re: Hensoldt 72mm Rings
I would look for something around 1.25" to bore centerline.
This depends on your barrel contour of course, but, unless it is just really heavy, this works well.

Re: Hensoldt 72mm Rings
Here is a link with pics of the gun not sure it is a very heavy barrel hopefully this will give you better idea.

Re: Hensoldt 72mm Rings
I have a Hensoldt 4-16x56mm mounted on a GAP M40A5 using 34mm Badger 306-75 rings, which are 1.0" high from the top of the rail to the inside bottom of the ring. The 6-24x72mm objective is about 8mm larger in radius and that scope also has a 34mm tube, so 1.32" (1.0" + 8mm = 1.32") high rings should work. The 34mm Badger 306-27s are 1.257" high, and the 306-76s are 1.49" high.
I don't remember how much space there is between the barrel of my M40A5 and the 4-16x56mm Hensoldt objective, and the rifle is at the other house so I can't check it. The 306-27s MIGHT work, otherwise you'd have to use the 306-76s or another brand of rings. Remember, I'm talking about an M40A5 with a Rem 700 action, Ross 30 MOA rail and M24 contour barrel.

Re: Hensoldt 72mm Rings
when in doubt, make some templates from cardboard and measure them, but these ("The 34mm Badger 306-27s are 1.257" high") should work fine.

Re: Hensoldt 72mm Rings
Thanks man. Now one more question do you think there would be any problem using the alloy vs steel? The 306-27s are alloy and would like for anyone who has used there alloys to please chime in and let me know. It will be on top of a 338 lapau.
Thanks again for all the help.

Re: Hensoldt 72mm Rings
I found the 1.25" rings to be too low. I had an AMU contour barrel and the bell would just touch the barrel. I went with the steel 1.40" (something) USMC badgers to make it work.
Later, the Near Alphamount replaced the Badgers.

Re: Hensoldt 72mm Rings
I tell my customers:
1. Measure the base height from the top of the action to the top of the base.
2. Know the rings center point (example: Badger Medium +0.885”, Standard +0.823”) and add this distance to the first measurement.
3. Now, measure the bell (just because it says it’s a 42mm bell does not mean the outside is a 42mm), divide it in half and add 0.125” for the scope cap.
4. Subtract the distance calculated in steps 1 and 2 from the distance calculated in step 3. This will tell you where the bottom of the scope bell will be. This will help give you an idea of what ring to choose. You can go further. For example, let’s say we came up with 0.15”.
5. Now placing a flat ruler on the action, figure out where you would like the scope bell to be.
6. Measure down from the under side of the ruler to the top of the barrel. Let’s say this number is 0.25”. You will take the 0.25” and subtract the 0.15” to give you a 0.1” clearance. Now you know the rifle, scope, and rings will work as long as it is (+ number).
I hope this helps

Re: Hensoldt 72mm Rings
I have a 72 Hensoldt and have used it a lot.
Really wonderfull scope, and without nightvision I found out on some septembernights that we gained about 15-30 minutes longer time.
Some lightnights the 72 have given possibilitys to shoot all night long, while a 56 not could handle it.
Our 1,45" mount can often handle the 72 scope on most guns, availible as both 0 and 20 moa cant.

This scope on the picture is a a hensoldt 4-16x56 and not a 6-24x72.

Re: Hensoldt 72mm Rings
you guys have any idea if hensoldt have plans to make the 6-24 by 72 in the first focal plane model in the future..
