First bolt gun looking for help

[HoustonGTS]

https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZFkUe4jMRVg8tcTC7First bolt gun and new to the savage family. I got a savage 110 tactical .308 in a trade. I just ordered the new vortex strike eagle 5x25x56 strike eagle (34 mm tube). I have no idea as to what ring height i need. Attached is a pic of the base that I assume is the stock base. Can anyone help with selecting the right rings? Thanks in advance!

What height?

That will help you figure your scope ring height, so in your case I think it is saying a hair over 2".

put your gun on a table with a bag or something that will hold the rifle upright. Now stack two stacks of even numbers of pennies up on the rail one front and one back, set the scope on it. Do it until you have the scope in the position you want it for the type of shooting you will do. You should have clearance between the objective and the barrel. Measure the stacks of pennies and this is the height of your rings. Unless the rings are measured to the center line of the scope. Then it should be the penny height + 17 mm.

17mm = .669

What side of town are you on?

Katy. Go a very crude 1,000 yd range to shoot at...

Robinhood, where did you find that trick? That is pretty dang cool right there.

[Robinhood]

I actually use key stock I keep in my machinist box. It is really a simple concept. I don't remember if I thought of it or I read it somewhere. I'm certain I was not the first.

Now I think of it in terms of circles, the barrel diameter, Scope tube and objective diameter and the action diameter. I make a sketch and determine how high my mount is and the ring height falls into place.

If buying Warne (I've gone to them exclusively) you'll need the tall ones. https://www.opticsplanet.com/warne-riflescope-34mm-permanently-attached-high-rings.html

I've got a 56 mm Sightron and there's a good amount of clearance with that combination.

Is that a 20 moa rail on the 110?

[Bill2905]

If you plan to use flip-up type scope covers like Butler Creek, be sure to account for their thickness when determining your clearance needs.

I like the Warne fixed rings myself.

Yes, 20 moa rail.

Did you have a certain brand in mind?

[Rob01]

Not sure if you bought rings yet but 1" height will work with that scope. My Strike Eagle is on my 40 MOA base Vudoo with Warne Mountain Tech mediums which are a little over 1" in height. Plenty of room. I also use 1" height on my other rifles with 34mm tubed 56mm objective Razor IIs.

You need to post a picture of it
