So my inner mathematical nerd came out and I did some calculating to determine the height of ring to look at, please look at my math and see if it makes sense!
1"=25.4mm
EGW Rail=.4" or 10.16mm
OD of objective on SS scope= 49.5mm
So here's the math:
49.5/2=24.75mm(center of scope), add 3mm for lens cover and you get 27.75, subtract the 10.16mm for the height of the rail and that leaves you with 17.59mm or .693"
Meaning I need to find a scope with a center height of .693", most don't go down this low, so far the best combo I can find for this setup would be Burris Medium Zee Rings at .78"
Does this make sense or am I computing incorrectly, I think this may be as low as I can feasibly get it. This should set it roughly 5.2mm off the barrel, right now it is sitting 12mm off the barrel!
Edit:
The more I calculate the more I confuse myself if I stay with weaver mounts and go Burris it would drop the scope, 4.72mm, but if I drop the rings and increase the thickness of the base by 5mm, it would be a wash. The weaver mounts are half as thick as the egw rail?????? I think my problem is I am not factoring for the barrel not being the same height as the action, it drops away.
