Scope distance between the barrel and scope.

Hey guys I just finished my rifle build. I only ran into one problem on this gun . The scope bases a 2 piece of unknown brand didn't fit with my new scope (scope is shorter) and so I had to go to the 1 piece base. But I had already bought my scope mounts burris xtac 1 " high and now theres a 1/2 gap. My old scope and rings of the same height gave me 1/8 gap. Old scope was 6x20x50and a couple inches longer than the weaver ss 3x15x50.So my question is will this sight in good and is the ea Brown base an 20 moa base or 0 its not specified in the add so I assumed it was 0.I cant afford new rings and don't feel like going thru the motions to return them and wait even longer (internet purchase). TY Tj

I think you already know the answer. Closest to the bore.

Actualy I don't ive looked at other forums and some guys use very high rings some don't others have what appears to be more than 1/2 on there long range guns.Myself I would rather have an 1/8"over the 1/2".I was just hoping some body would say its alright you didn't waste 60 dollars on those rings lol. .

Got new rings and my 1/8 inch back man them are nice rings hate to eat them goin in the classified section!! Ended up putting weaver grand slam steel rings on at 20 inch pounds. All weaver optics and covers exept base eab now guess im going to see what they can do tomorrow.

Much better to have the optics as close to the barrel as possible for several reasons. Good luck shooting it, be sure to let us know how it does.
