Ring height for a M10 FCP-SR | 20MOA rail | 30mm tube | 50mm obj
I freed up some money today with a sale, and so I’m picking up a Sig Sauer Tango4 6-24x50 to mount on my rifle. I’m about 95% on getting this scope, with a FFP reticle, unless someone has had a horrible experience with one and can share. What I don’t know is what rings I’ll need to mount it.
Sig customer service says medium or high, leaning towards high to be sure the bell will clear. They stated that one determining factor was the straight bolt handle.
I’d like to get opinions from those that have been there; what scope rings should I be looking at? I’m interested in height and/or brand suggestions. Thanks very much in advance.

I went to the area's premier shooting range & firearms store intent on buying a scope and rings last night. I've changed my mind (as I often do), I think for the better, and I'm abandoning the Sig in favor of a Vortex Viper... same general dimensions.
The shop didn't have any picatinny medium-height rings... none. I tried with the scope counter guy to test-fit some low rings that split vertically--i.e., have a left & right side, rather than a bottom and top--and it looks like that might clear the bolt handle, but it was hard to tell with the janky setup requiring four hands to hold the rings and scope on the rifle.
I'm less than impressed. I've bought other stuff there; it's a bit out of town, and traffic going there at rush hour is black-friday-at-walmart-parking-lot speeds.
Still looking. May try another place farther away today. Input welcome.
