    Ring height recommendations


    I am finally beginning my rebuild and need some help with ring height. I currently have a long action flat back which I will be fitting with a EGW 20moa base. I have a Mcgowen varmint contour barrel on the way and have Burris Mtac 4.5-14x42 that I picked up this weekend. I am planning on getting the Burris XTR 30mm rings but I am unsure which ones I am needing. I think the high rings will be about right but don't want them to be too tall or too short. I am still waiting on parts or I could probably do some measuring and figure out what I am needing. If I need to wait I will but would like to get them ordered. Thanks

    I'll look when I get to work, but I believe mediums work well with a 50mm and the 20moa, so you'd be fine with the low rings. I just need to verify what I ordered

    I ordered the mediums. I may have a pic of the clearance too.

    The bell for the objective lens measures 56mm. Not sure if that changes anything.

    Once you have the barrel installed and the base mounted, then you should be able to measure what you'll need...
