Rifle Scopes Mount Height?

[Skeller185]

Working on 1st custom build with MPA Comp chasis and Impact barreled action. Will be using NF 7x35 Acatr and looking for scope base height keeping clearance for sunshade and lens cap over NV bridge. Anybody have similar set-up and can advise on base height? Most likely going with Spuhr mount so thinking either 1.18" or 1.35".

ARC medium rings (1.1”), NF 7-35, Vector action, 20 MOA rail, M24 Contour Barrel, MPA Comp chassis.

The NV bridge is not visible at all through the scope on any power.

Edit: Just saw the sunshade mentioned. I’ll have to measure but, but it looks like you would want the higher mount. I will measure tomorrow if I remember.

With sunshade and nvg rail, you’ll need 1.35 or possibly even 1.5”

Going with heavy palma barrel but concerned with sunshade on will it clear NV bridge?

I have a 1.5" mount now but it is 20moa. I haven't received my action yet so cant check but figured with 20moa base resulting in 40moa cant was bad way to go considering 6mm creedmoor. Thoughts?

Looking at mine with the Impact you'll need at least a 1.5" to use the sunshade. I have 1.1" rings and there is no way I could use my sunshade. I'd need another .4-.5.

I wouldn’t bother with more than 20moa. Close to sea level you only need about 7.2-7.5mil for 1k with 6creed.
