I know that this has been asked before and I've read most of the other posts, but haven't found a good answer, so here goes.

I have a Model 11 .243 that I am mounting a Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP 4-16x44mm (30mm) on top of a 0 MOA EGW rail.

(Now for the SMH funny part) - I took the cantilever mount off the AR that the scope was mounted to and mounted it to the Savage. Took a look through the eyepiece and thought, "man, this scope seems HIGH - it's going to be near-impossible to get a decent cheek weld". Well, duh - it's sitting in a cantilever mount that was intended for AR-15 sight pictures, so its OBVIOUSLY going to sit way too high on a bolt gun.

It should be noted that I've never been accused of being an overly bright bulb...

That brings me to the question - I'm trying to decide between low and medium rings for the Savage. I'm thinking that low rings should be just fine, but I know most of the folks here will be able to answer that question pretty quickly.
