[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2257380, member: 92604"] Referencing the attached photos, is the clearance between the turret and rail too close? 0.006" feeler gauge with minor resistance, about what you would expect for a good fit. 0.007" slides in with a little more force and 0.008" is a nogo. These are 0.850" height rings, 0.990" were on previously and there was a lot of space between turret and rail but head is too high and would need to add 1/4" of padding to stock. It shot fine with that setup but I prefer them lower. Had to cut off the first notch to eliminate interference with the scope bell and get correct eye relief. Not sure how much that rail may flex while shooting. Rifle is 257WBY. I could always file down the center notches is it needs more room. edit: mounts are EGW. [/QUOTE]
