I just purchased a Burris XTR II 5-25x50 to go on my Savage M10. It had a SWFA 10x42 on it. With the SWFA mounted there was almost 1/2" of space between the scope and barrel. It seems there is ample clearance for the 50mm Burris with the same height rings. The XTR is a 34mm scope, anyone have this optic on their Savage and can give me ring height? I always measured from the saddle of the ring, now it seems measurements are from the middle of the rings.

What rings for long range shooting?
