Hello. I was wandering if someone can explain how to judge what height scope ring I should get. I have a Remington 700 LTR .308 and a 10x SWFA.

Re: Scope ring question
You want the scope as low as possible on that platform. You can use the given heights, low, med, high, really just as a starting platform because every manufacturer is different. Its best to get the actual measurments of the ring heights and compare them to your scopes objective. Be mindful or factoring in your eye relief and where the scope sits in comparision to where the objective will hits the barrel. As a basic rule, low can USUALLY be used witha 40mm, med around 42mm-44mm, high with 50mm. this is just a general and basic outline to where you can start.

I have been looking at these but I am open to suggestions. I am new to this world so any input helps.

ETA: I can't get the link to work with this stupid iPad. I'd go with the Burris over the Weavers for the same money. You want lows, something like .84".

Re: Scope ring question
I've used the mentioned low weaver rings on an Egw HD 20 moa base and a weaver 20 moa base. The scope had plenty of room and still used a pad on the stock to check weld up a little. Stocks were b&c m40 and light tactical ( butt hook). Mediums would have been too high for me.
