SHV 5-20x56 ring height

[jmcarrol]

I just picked up the Nightforce SHV 5-20x56 Illuminated and a 20MOA Nightforce base for a Remington 700 LA. Emailed Nightforce and they recommended A118 rings. Does anyone have any for sale?
Has anyone mounted this scope on a rem700 with the NF 20 moa picatinny base? Did you use the low .885 A118 rings? Just curious how close it will be to barrel (#5 Broughton).

I have that scope on a 20moa 700 long action. It is a varmit-ish contour octagon barrel. I was recommended to use medium rings and they are way too high. I am going to try the low rings also. I hope that this helps.

I have a 56MM NXS on a Brux 5 taper in NF LOW rings on a NF 20moa rail, Rem 700 LA.

Thank you both very much. As expensive as those rings are, I wanted to be sure I had the right height.
