[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 960232, member: 48559"] I measure (with my calipers) the diameter of the scope tube, the diameter of the rifle bolt, divide both in half, then add the space from the top of the bolt to the bottom of the tube measured right in front of or right in back of the turret housing and that seems to work just fine. If you can't get the caliper to the bolt because your action has a closed top, then I would measure from bolt to scope right behind the receiver with the bolt retracted just enough to access the main body. Should still give decent enough data for success. [/QUOTE]
