[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 960258, member: 9172"] Read this post...read it very carfully... Paragraph five......." now total up your figures............= 2.02 scope height".... It came from THIS thread. This is also the thread in which you pulled my quote...post # 21. I may well have used differnt numbers for the ring/base height on a differnt thread..I don't know, because you didn't link there origonaly. I simply used the numbers FROM THIS POST, WHICH YOU USED AS A QUOTE. If I use1" ring/base height then the 2.27 inch number is correct. As far as measuring rings bases....pretty sure they need to be disasembled from the reciever to get any kind of accurate measurment. BUT...as I have said all along.....It really dosn't matter much at all. If you are off by 1/4 inch with your scope height measurement ..say 2.15 vs 2.40...with a 300 yard zero........ you are about 3/4 of an inch off.....that is less than one tenth MOA. at 1000 yards. Think about that for a bit!!!:D [/QUOTE]
