[QUOTE="marc357, post: 19393, member: 1786"] I kinda like the Farrel. I am using the Farrel base, with standard Farrel rings, and a 40mm obj. scope. I have just enough clearance for the Butler Creek scope caps to clear the barrel nicely. I like the fact that the Farrel base is a little higher, as it makes it easier to load the cartridges into the magazine (I am shooting .300WM, more clearance for the fat cartridges) Also, the slots for the rings are only at the ends, where you need them, not above the loading port. One less thing to bust your thumb on. (not that I have girly little thumbs or anything) Actually, I have big, fat, thumbs- maybe that's why I appreciate the extra clearance. Shorter rings will probably correct your issue, but I know 150 bucks a set is steep. I have seen ads from time to time, from folks in similar situations, wanting to trade Mediums for Lows, Lows for Highs, etc Might be worth a look at the classifieds on this board and others. marc [/QUOTE]
