MARS rail & 56mm obj. scope rings height ?

[sadmazor]

Hello,

Need some tech help/advice here.

I have some kind of oldschool .308 custom Rem700 build, scope is NF NXS 5.5-22x56 with "1.000 Ultralite rings & NF 20 moa base. Now it has perfect clearance between front Tenebraex lens cover on sunshade and heavy palma contour (about ~ 0.110) . Wanna refresh it & play with some NV devices and decided to get MARS rail, but have question about scope rings height compatibility. Is it enough 1.000 rings height for proper attachment of 56mm obj scope(with sunshade & tenebraex lens cover) or I need to order taller rings ? 1.125 or 1.250 ?

I appreciate any help, especially If you owner of beauties like M24A2/700USR/MK13MOD5 & can measure the gap between scope objective(sunshade) and MARS, and say your rings height.

Best,

Anything from 1.20” to 1.375” will work with the MARS to align with a clip on. I ran NF 1.265” with one and it was about perfect.

1.265 & 1.250 are discontinued both NF & Badger =(. Will 1.125 fit ?

1.125 is very close with factory caps, might not work with a tenetbrax. This is 1.125”
