[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 462772, member: 21068"] Personally, I would go with the 1" high rings. The OD of the 56 is actually 60something, don't remember exactly. Granted, the 30 mm tube helps lift it a little, and a 0 minute one piece rail will lift it above the barrel a little too. Kirby recommended the 1" lift in my case. I'd rather have a tad too much lift then have to cut stuff or not be able to put on a lense cover. If we do the math, Let's say the objective diameter is 69 mm. 1/2 of that is below the centerline of the scope...........so we're looking at 1.358" of scope below the centerline. The one piece mounts I've seen are about 3/8" above the top of the action. So in theory, a 1" ring is minumum assuming a heavy straight contour barrel. [/QUOTE]
