Ring height

[R6721]

Need help. I am mounting a MK5HD 5-25x56 on an XBolt Western Hunter with a sporter contour barrel and have a 20MOA base I will be using. So will a medium height ring work?

X-Bolt Long Rang Stalker with a 56mm Swarovski mounted in Seekins Lows with a 20 MOA Leupold Base, currently has Murphy Precision 20 MOA base with the same scope and rings

Thanks Darryle, how do you like the rifle with the recoil Haag?

 

[Darryle]

It's a pussycat, but it's also 10lbs + as shown.

It's also loud, I have a EC Tuner inbound for it.

Good advice Darryle and nice setup.

How to Determine Ring Height
​

Step 1

---

Stack pennies on top of scope mounting rail. Use the same number of pennies in each stack.

Step 2

---

Set and hold scope on pennies. Adjust number of pennies until scope is at desired height with adequate clearance to barrel.

Step 3

---

If you use scope caps, test fit with scope caps.

Step 4

---

Count the number of pennies in one stack.
Find the intersection of the scope diameter and the number of pennies (Number in one stack). This is the recommended scope ring height.
The penny thickness used for this calculation is 1.5mm (0.059 inch).

You're welcome. I copied that from American Rifle Company's website. They also make (IMHO) the best rings on the planet. Wink, wink.
