Yup, so long as you stick with a known quality manufacturer you will be good.
The Vortex Precision Matched Rings are probably the most commonly used. Look into those...

I honestly cannot Knock UTG I have a set of QD utg rings on my AR holding down a Silver Zeiss conquest and that thing has been to hell and back Still drives nails.
I have a 44 mm objective Viper and used Leupold Mk 4 rings. They are called mediums because the don’t make a “low” but they are the lowest in steel that I could find at .84”.
this was important to me so as to be able to get in the box and still cheek the comb (actually still needed a cheek piece but lower was still better IMO).
Also, before someone brings up UTG being Chinese junk, the UTG Pros are made in the USA. I used a set on a Howa Oryx, coincidentally with my Vortex DB Tactical 4-16 also and the .98" high lows were good to go. Getting the scope as low as possible doesn't really matter in this day and age because the comb is adjustable, trying to go as low as possible doesn't net you anything.
Well, that would depend on it you have an adjustable comb, I should think. No? And if you do, then it would need to have sufficient adjustment.
in my case, I had to order the long KMW Loggerhead posts from Terry Cross even w my low rings.
The OP has a stock with an adjustable comb, I was keeping things within the context of his set up.
Not as refined as some of those listed above, but SWFA rings have always aligned well for me and have always held securely.

Those are basically rebranded Burris tactical rings. I've been using them myself for years with good results, a fine choice for those on a tight budget.
I've read the Vortex Precision Match rings were at one time, and maybe still are, made by Seekins.
I've never used or seen the Seekins branded rings but have have good experience with the Vortex Precision Match rings.
I’ve had something like 12 sets of Vortex PMRs. One had a out of spec champ piece, but the rest have even perfect.
If you decide to go Vortex make sure you get it from a regular dealer. I saw a set of rings at Bass Pro that had the made in China sticker on them ... no they weren't the pro version
You want to get this right the first time.
The only way to do so is to get a set of low, mediums, and highs from some place that will let you return for refund. Try all three, keep the one that gives you the most natural and comfortable head and eye position behind the scope, return the other two.
Ignore anyone who says get "this height". They have no fucking clue what you need because this is a very personal choice.
Seekins for the budget, No nut sticking out the side. ARC for everything else, two bolts, same torque can't get any easier.
I was looking for 34 mm rings a month ago and those were my first choice but I could find them nowhere in stock in the height that I needed.
Ended up with PRI rings.
