Well i have a vortex viper 6.5-20x50mm scope, I was going to get a weaver tactical base in 20moa and the weaver tactical rings. I'm pretty sure mediums will clear but does any body know if i can get away with low rings with how thick the base is? I know the Burris medium tactical rings with a standard weaver base clears the gun with almost a 1/4".

Thanks!!

Do you have a one piece mount or two?

Single piece base.

Thanks for the move I thought I had it where it needed to be

All my scopes mounted on full rails, EGW and Weaver, are mounted with low rings. That include three different 50mm objective scopes with 30mm tubes: 1 Bushnell Elite 6-24x50 and two SWFA 5-20x50. Medium rings left them too high above the rifle to get a good cheek weld.

Great! I was hoping to get back to some low rings. Thanks. It's looking like I'm going to get the weaver tactical 20moa base. Can't find the EGW anywhere and they said 4 weeks for one.
