[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 965419, member: 17844"] For an ACD you don't want anything that gets in the way of seeing turret graduations . I like ACD's that come out to the side and at or below tube centre . The Accuracy 1st looks like it might be hard to see . Very hard to advise scope ring height it also depends on barrel contour and how far you scope will be forward . Focus the reticle and put parallax on 200 yards , get some wood spacers and tape the scope to the rail on the spacers so the eye relief is correct for your normal shooting position at mid power and the objective is clear of the barrel by an minimum of 1/8 . Measure the distance between the top of the rail and the bottom of the scope tube and add half the scope tube diameter . See if that measurement corresponds to any tactical type manufacturers ring height . I bet it don't . As most only make three ring heights you usually end up with a scope height , higher than is ideal . Don't have the objective too close to the barrel as the scope can flex under recoil and hit the barrel . Burris XTR rings come in 4 heights . Badger ordinance have a few different height rings.
