Hi all,

At the moment, I'm trying to work out what ring heights to order for a 10FCP-K in .223.
I would just measure this and work it out, but the rifle isn't gonna be in my hands for a few weeks and I want to have things ready to go when it turns up, if someone could help me out if they have a similar setup it would be appreciated!

Otherwise, if someone can tell me the barrel diameter (somewhere before where the fluting starts) and possibly confirm the EGW base height that would be greatly appreciated.

At the moment I'm thinking high's, but it would be nice if I could get away with mediums...

Scope:
Falcon Optics 4-14 (http://www.falconoptics.com/4-14x44FFP.php)
Scope Tube: 30mm
Outer Objective Bell diameter: 52mm (2.05")

Base:
EGW 20MOA Savage HD (Round Back) (http://egw-guns.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_142&products_id=480)
0.45" (maybe...?)

Rings:
Burris Signature Zee 30mm (http://longrangesupply.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_62&zenid=8f45bbfd26e5ab016e1a78a724ffa2e4)
Available height options: Med (.180"), High (.300") and Extra High (.580")

Burris Signature Zee 30mm with inserts installed (http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=1730/Product/SIGNATURE_RINGS)
Available height options: Med (.200"), High (.325") and Extra High (.580")

Cheers

I'm running the EGW 20MOA base with the Burris Extreme Tactical LOW rings on a Nightforce with a 50mm objective and I still have 1/4" gap. The XTR lows measure about .25" from the bottom of the ring to the mating surface of the base. I'd say either of the mediums listed are what you want.
