Rifle Scopes same rings, different rifles?

[rocdoc]

I'm about to buy my first high-end scope and I would like to be able to use it on different rifles as I can't afford to get a separate one for each. If I need to mount the scope on a Rem 700 and a Barrett 95, could I use a single set of rings? The rings would have to be high enough for the Barrett which has its stock inline with the bore. Would this be then too high for the 700? I want to be able to simply move the scope to the new rifle's rail, reset my turret zeros and go. If I have to change rings, I'll need a different scope.

Re: same rings, different rifles?

Well, I called Badger Ordnance to see if they could answer my question. They said I would need two different sets of rings. Then I called Mike at CS Tactical. Great guy, willing to take the time to answer alot of stubid noob questions. Of course he had a simple answer for me. I now have one set of rings on order along with a riser for the Barrett to get the clearance and the right height relative to the stock. You would think Badger would have mentioned it, seeing as they make the risers.

I was just about to suggest the riser, but it sounds like you already know.
