Scope rings 50mm objective 30mm tube

[becker_atc]

Ok so putting a new scope on my 300 wm. Considering the vortex viper hs 4-16x50. Has a 30 mm tube. I want to stick with leupold standard base I think. But high or med rings?i have a sporter barreled model 700

Just enough ring to keep the bell of the scope from touching the barrel.

I'm pretty sure medium rings will work.

Why not remove all doubt and take the scope and rifle to a local shop where you can see exactly what it will look like before spending a cent. This is one of those areas where a 10% premium in a local shop vs online is money very well spent.

With a 20moa rail, typically those heights around .86 (Medium - typically) should clear. You really have to watch the heights tho as each Manuf. has em diff. Seekins Precision, Griffin, APA, NF, USO, Badger or ARC will gladly tell you what you need.

If you haven't handled a set of Griffin Armament............things are like butter.

This is great advice. If it's a standard receiver and you're going to use leupold rings mediums will clear. Talley you'll need an extended front medium. If you have a 20 or 30 Moa rail night force low rings will clear. Low vortex will work as well. Really depends on what rings you want to use.

I bought high rings but if I feel I need to swap them...well I'll swap for something else. Should be putting it all on tonight.

I'm with riongnt I'd take my rifle in the shop and have them sit the rings on my rifle and see how they look and have options. I look at rifles all the time that aren't balanced for their application. The rings will be the least expensive part of your package so do it right. 7 STW brings up another point. We don't know what distance you will be shooting and do you have a moa base or will you need moa rings. Good luck, I say buy once cry once,

If using a 1 piece base, the low rings clear. Otherwise get medium.
