[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2612313, member: 68875"] Usually barrel contour does not matter, but if you have bigger than the standard 1.200" breech end, it could. I have found that 34mm rings in the .92"-.94" will clear most 56mm objective scopes on almost any contour as long as it is the usual 1.200" breech. One exception is the Vortex Gen 2 Razor 4.5-27×56 with the weird length and scope body design. It takes 1.00" rings to clear. For me, I would go with the 34mm "low" 24mm (.94") rings. The other deciding factor is the turret bell diameter. A few scopes like S&B PMII and Swarovski X5 need more clearance under the scope to clear a full length Picatinny rail. Split rails are not effected. Not exactly the same set up, but here is a Premier Heritage 5-25x56 in Seekins .92" rings over a Sendero contour barrel. [ATTACH type="full"]392016[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
