Rifle Scopes quick ring question for vortex razor 5-20x50
- Thread starter bloodsport06
- Start date
also im a little confused. i have the weaver 20 moa rail. do i have to get the weaver style rings or will the picatinny rail rings work as well?
thanks, i may end up just getting the vortex branded rings, the tps are at a great price tho.
I have a Razor 5-20 mounted in Vortex (seekins) PMR-35-95 rings. This is on my 700 Sendero with Farrell 20 MOA base. They provide plenty of room for scope covers.

i went ahead and got the vortex branded seekins rings. hope they arrive soon because i just received my scope today and holy cow i have never felt such a scope. my others feel like toys!
If your Weaver brand base is cut with weaver cross slots then the Seekins picitinny cross members won't work. Weaver rings will work on a picitinny base though but not the other way around.
"Military standard, MIL-STD-1913 "Picatinny rails" date from the early 1990s and have very strict dimension and tolerance standards. The Picatinny has rail of very similar profile to the Weaver, but the slot width is 0.206 in (5.23 mm), and by contrast with the Weaver, the spacing of slot centers is consistent, at 0.394 in (10.01 mm). Many rail-grabber-mounted accessories can be used on either type of rail, and generally accessories designed for a Weaver system will generally fit Picatinny rails - although not versa. The Picatinny locking slot width is 0.206 in (5.232 mm) and the spacing of slot centers is 0.394 in (10.008 mm).[2] Because of this, with devices that use only one locking slot, Weaver devices will fit on Picatinny rails, but Picatinny devices will not always fit on Weaver rails."

I don't know if this will help but here is a calculator for scope high and components.
Scope Ring Height and Clearance Calculator
Hope this helps. By the way my PST sits in the same rings and I love them.

thats the one i picked up. said its designed to work with picatinny bases so i should be ok. i didnt realize there was a difference between some weaver rails and picatinny rails. i started reading a bunch of confusing stuff online so i asked on here to clear it up.
thanks guys!
