Looking for Kidd 10/22 Barrel Action Scope Ring Size

Does anyone have a kidd barreled action with a kidd scope rail? I'm looking for a measurement from the top of the barrel to the top of the scope rail so that I can plug it into a ring size calculator and figure out what rings to buy. I'm trying to fit a 42mm obj swfa scope to it.

I know on their site they suggest low rings for obj up to 40mm, and medium rings for 50mm, but those 'tshirt sizes' vary from ring manufacturer to manufacturer, so ideally I'd like a specific size in inches to shoot for.

Thanks
 
I was able to figure this out, heard back from Kidd. Replying to my own thread for posterity, and because I hate when I get a forum search result from google and the poster evidently figured out the issue, but did not post the solution :geek:

The height of rail to the top of the barrel is .3195

I already ordered the seekins 0.87 medium rings, but according to the calculator I could have gotten away with the low 0.82 rings for a slightly closer fit with a 2mm thick lensecap and 42mm objective. Measurements from bell to barrel would be 0.28in and 0.23in respectively for the medium and low rings. I guess I can always get the lows later if this drives me nuts.

Hopefully this helps someone in the future.
