[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 1857029, member: 25389"] I'm setting up a Howa 1500 short action in 6.5 Creedmoor for my grandkids first big game hunting rifle. I mounted a Nightforce SHV 5-20X56 scope using a picatinny rail and EGW 30mm rings (0.84"). The scope is too high for the kids. Unfortunately, not many of the listings for scope rings provide useful dimensional data. With the picatinny system, the objective end of the scope is 0.217" off the barrel at the objective lens. I'd like to mount it lower to reduce height 3/16" or so. I checked out the Talley website, but they don't list any single piece direct mount rings for the Howa 1500. Any suggestions? Thank you!!
