Sorry for reviving a somewhat aged thread but this is pretty much exactly what I was going to ask.. but with a slight change...
Anyone here running an AI AXSA (.308) with the top rail section removed from the forend and a 56mm OBJ? If so, I'd like to know what height rings (or what make/model) you're running to take advantage of the lower mounting space AND still get to use scope caps.
I'm not a fan of running 1.5" on a bolt gun and wanted to run a bit lower. Was planning on going with Badger rings but I've been kicking around the idea of trying out a Spuhr. I won't be running NV on this system, so a lower scope height is more beneficial than the top forend rail.
Thanks!
Specs:
AI AXSA (.308) w/ 20MOA rail & Top Forend Rail Removed
NF ATACR 5-25x56mm
Goal:
Lowest scope mount height while still being able to use scope caps.
