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.
