[QUOTE="9x23w, post: 1980644, member: 862"] You need to buy stuff in the right order. You have the rifle, now you need to get the scope. There are many variables that determine which height rings to buy in addition to outside objective diameter. Even if you could measure everything you still won't know for sure because as the scope moves back in the rings clearance is reduced. And without having the scope you can't be sure how far forward or rearward to mount it. So get the scope, then you can check what eye relief works for you. Then lay the rifle down and position the scope alongside, now you can see what ring and base height you will need for clearance. Remember everyone's "low" rings are not the same height, and everyone's bases are not the same height. And you need to leave a bit of space for lens caps unless your scope accepts a screw in sunshade, which will push out the objective lens cap a little to where the barrel is a little thinner. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
