I just ordered a Nightforce 5.5-22X56 scope for my FN A3G. Reading the sticking above I think I need medium rings. I want to verify that I will have enough clearance between the objective and the barrel to fit some butler creek caps. I am looking at the Leupold MK 4 rings.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You will probably need to go with Highs if you want to put the Butler Creek scope caps on. I have a SPR A1 with a NF F1 50mm with Burris signature zee mediums. There is about 1/8" gap between objective and barrel. Don't forget there is also 20MOA built into the rail which tilts the front of the scope down a bit.
