[QUOTE="buckfvr, post: 1177072, member: 43353"] No matter what your objective diameter, 50 or 44mm., on the same low rings, the center of your tube doesnt move there for the 44mm objective would actually provide more clearance to the barrel. I dont think Id put a Karsten on a wood stocked Cooper, but yes, you will need a solid repeatable anchor for your cheek. Cheek weld changes somewhat with shooting position as well because of head angle. From prone to off hand is notable, with bench rest somewhere in between. Add half your scope tube ( 30mm is .59 ) to half your bolt diameter, and add the distance between top of bolt and bottom of scope tube to get your above bore measure. Also most mfgs give detailed dimensions of scope rings and rails so you can do the math to make sure you have clearance at the bell end. Vortex has all their scope dimensions under the specs tab to help with this. Good luck........R [/QUOTE]
