I am going to keep the factory Weaver bases and put a 4x16x50mm scope with a 30mm tube and am looking for ring height. If anyone has done this I would appreciate some feedback.

If you have the scope in hand, you can measure for your required ring height by building stacks of pennies to model various ring heights. Place a stack on each base and then place the tube on top of the stacks (use tape on the stacks to keep them from spilling). Keep adding pennies until you get the desired objective clearance. Measure the stacked height and that will be your desired height from the top of the base up to the bottom of the saddle. Compare that measurement to the published dimensions of your preferred rings and choose the appropriate height.
ARC has a diagram of this measuring concept on their site. You can also use it to get an idea of the ring height: https://www.americanrifle.com/shop/p...-7?category=15
