The rail should be part of the measurement only the top of it/bottom of the ring up is equated. An average od increase of 8-10mm beyond objective size on the optics I have seem to be norm. 50 objective is close to 60. Yup, didn't count for that. 1.200-1.250" for rings depending on manufacturer.

With rails being higher than barrel as in @lancetkenyon firearm it's possible to get lower 1's.

nice well American precision arms has their rings on sale so I went with medium we shall see running a carbon benchmark barrel by Hells Canyon Armory and xlr chassis.
Lows should work fine
I had a set of low Warne maximad laying around so I loosely put them on and it doesn't seem to work. The bolt handle barely hits the scope, but the objective looks like it would hit the barrel. I'm going to try to find the specs on the Warne rings, for whatever reason they don't have that dimension listed on the chart for maxima rings. Maybe it's the same as the mountain techs.

@djewell87 what did you end up going with? I'm also interested in seeing how you feel things ended up with putting the NX8 on the Nanook? Had some concern it would give proper eye relief with how short the tube is and the knobs more forward with integral rail.
I ended up going with medium Hawkins and it was just right.
