Scope Rings Height HELP
I need help in determining what height rings will work best, I intend to mount on 20moa rail, and need to switch between CZ455 Bull Barrel and Rem700 SPS Tactical.
Would medium rings work, or high...........
Thanks

Re: Scope Rings Height HELP
Take your rifle to the gunshop, with the scope, and try the rings.
I've fitted a 56mm objective scope to a rail with low rings.

Also depends on the rail length. I have a full length 20 MOA, and need extra high mounts for the objective to clear the rail.

On the other hand, ring height will also affect your potential maximum distance you can shoot with the scope, which is important if you're going to be doing long and extreme distance shooting. On a hunting rifle, the general rule is "as low as possible".

I have used this calculator in the past and it was very accurate if you put all the information in accurately ,takes a bit of measuring but well worth the effort.
Helps a lot if you need to buy rings online or want a specific hight so that you can order from your local gun shop.
