[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 626412, member: 13831"] Here's what Glen Seekins wrote about ring height, for his product: "56mm obj Medium on < 5 contour (sometimes med high) Medium high on sendero contour High on >7 contour" (Taken from a thread on Sniper's Hide: [url=http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1433025#Post1433025]Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly - Sniper's Hide Forums[/url] " Otherwise...here's a nice equation provided by "Palmik" in the same thread: "Here is the equation: [B][rail height + ring height] - [bell diameter x 0.5][/B] If the value is positive, then your bell will clear the barrel. Optimally, you want that bell to be about 1/4" or less over the barrel. This will give you a tight cheek weld and provide for more precise trajectory. Be sure to account for Butler Creek caps if you intend on using them." I would second the use of NF Ultra Lightweight rings or Seekins. Wayne [/QUOTE]
