[QUOTE="8andbait, post: 1032818, member: 40850"] It depends on the barrel contour and the rail height. I got away with nightforce lows on a 15 moa rail and a #4 bartlein but not much clearance for scope cover. Also had nightforce lows on warne mounts on a nosler rifle with very thin barrel (#2ish) but again not much clearance. I have the scope mounted in talley med on a cooper rifle now and there is maybe 1/16th clearance and those rings are .5 from the action to the bottom of the ring. A total above action of .600 to bottom of ring including rail will allow enough room for butler creek or scope coat type cover on most hunting contours. In your case I would say you need the mediums unless your rail is really thick or you have a bull/straight barrel hope that helps a little. [/QUOTE]
