Ring height question

[rchristoff]

Replacing a nightforce 5.5-22x56 30mm using 1.125” ring height with a nightforce 7-35x56 34mm. I want to try and keep the scope height I have now. What size 34mm height rings would I need. Thanks.

I’m just guessing here but maybe rings that are at least 5mm or .2 inches taller than your current ines

Your old 30mm rings are 1.125" to the center line of your 30mm scope. New 1.125" 34mm rings will bring your rings to the same spot, because both sets of rings are exactly 1.125" to the centerline of each scope as measured from the base.

Your scope diameter (30mm vs 34mm) in this case is irrelevant because scope rings are measured from base bottom to center: Measures from the bottom of the base, which touches the rail, to the center of the ring.

You know, Bob....you are right and I was too damn fast (as in being thoughtless and typing before thinking) on the draw and wrong. I'm deleting my post...hell, stepping in it is is my superpower. lol

Thank you. I had an opportunity to snag an older model Spuhr SP-4601 1.18
