[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2105802, member: 116563"] With a 50mm objective you shouldn't have to worry too much about bolt throw. So you need a minimum of 26mm, or 1", of rise from your barrel (about where the objective of the scope will be). The height on the rings normally states how high they rise the centerline of the scope. So 1" rings, will rise the centerline of the scope 1" higher than whatever you're mounting it to. Either straight to the action or a rail. The action should be slightly higher than the top of your barrel, so 1" should be good in this case. But just measure everything out for yourself also.
