[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 18694, member: 34"] Hello Nebraska With a 50MM objective lens scope and a tapored base of .020" to .030" you need high rings so the front bell of the scope does not touch the barrel of the rifle. With a 40MM and a tapored base, the rings don't have to be quite as high. For off hand shooting a low mounted scope is desirable. Of course an off hand carry rifle does not have or need, a tapored base. For longrange shooting from a bench or tripod, I like a 50 mm objective and a tapored base. The scope sits high but, I'm use to it. DC [/QUOTE]
