I'm ordering either the 3.6-18x44 or the 5-25x56. I have a 20moa base and .95 Seekins precision rings. Anyone know if the 56 will fit? I really don't want to have to get higher rings.

Yes 35mm tube. I had it wrong they are .95 rings not 92's. (Seekins doesn't offer lows in 35mm like they do 34mm and 30mm tubes)This is with seekins lows and a 34mm ATACR. I believe the mark v is a 35mm tube so it may be tight if work at all. I'd go with the 4m objective.

My 56mm mk5 is mounted in Leupold rings that measure 1.09" from rail to center of the scope.I'm ordering either the 3.6-18x44 or the 5-25x56. I have a 20moa base and .95 Seekins precision rings. Anyone know if the 56 will fit? I really don't want to have to get higher rings.
Also on a T3X? Im not sure how high my base is but it's on a 20moa rail. I could swap my rail for a 0 but really want to be able to stretch it waaay out there. But with 120moa of adjustment I'm not sure how far I could get. 162-180 ELDM's 7mmMy 56mm mk5 is mounted in Leupold rings that measure 1.09" from rail to center of the scope.
They're way high on my setup, I could come down over .25".
It's going to depend on how high your base is
I wouldnt put the 5-25 on.Thats a huge scope,doesnt fit your build.
56mm is 12mm or ~ .5" larger diameter than the 44mm. For a hunting rifle and the 20MOA slope, IMO, 44mm.I'm ordering either the 3.6-18x44 or the 5-25x56. I have a 20moa base and .95 Seekins precision rings. Anyone know if the 56 will fit? I really don't want to have to get higher rings.
I'm considering swapping out the 20mos base for a 0moa base and running the 5-25x56 since it has 20moa more internal adjustment than the 3.6-18.56mm is 12mm or ~ .5" larger diameter than the 44mm. For a hunting rifle and the 20MOA slope, IMO, 44mm.
I saw that info above. There is more MOA adjustments with the 56mm, but a 44mm should be adequate. Have you checked out the trajectory charts for the 7mm SAUM and your bullet weights. Check your maximum range for yourself and the animal. It seems your leaning to the 56mm. If you end up not liking it, sell it to a steel shooter.I'm considering swapping out the 20mos base for a 0moa base and running the 5-25x56 since it has 20moa more internal adjustment than the 3.6-18.
Kinda am, but my rifle will double as a long range steel shooting rig. (No PRS or any comp stuff just for fun)I saw that info above.

My current rings Seekins .95's will easily fit the 3.6-18.These are probably the mounts you should look at if you are going with the 3.6-18x44 :https://www.badgerordnance.com/scope-rings/35-mm-scope-ring-low-1-00.html
You could always ring badger ordnance and ask them to confirm if they will be suitable for your set up with your barrel thickness and scope.
