Rifle Scopes Minox 5-25 & MPA BA 1 Piece Mount

[Hoyt7mm]

Does anyone know what height MPA is needed for the Minox ZP5 5-25x56? Thanks!

I have my Minox ZP5 in a MPA 34mm 1.25" mount on my APO chassis and it works fine. Not sure I would go with a shorter height.

I won't have any NV rail or enclosed forend to worry about in this case

What kind of rig are you mounting on? Is this a standard R700 type action with 20 MOA picatinny rail? What is the profile of your barrel? I was using .94" high rings with a custom medium palma contour barrel and it worked great with just enough room for the Tenebraex caps to clear without touching the barrel; however, when I put the Minox on my rifle with a PROOF Sendero contour the caps slightly touched, going to 1.00" high rings allowed it to clear just fine.

Thanks for the info! It's going on an Impact (20 moa) with M24 barrel profile.

M24 is pretty thick, you "might" be able to clear with MPA's 1.060" high mount, but to be on the safe side I'd say the 1.125" high will most definitely clear. Obviously the 1.25" high will have no issues, but the question is whether or not you have an adjustable cheek rest, if not then you'll want to get a nice Stock Pack like those from Triad Tactical to get your eye in the right position with the height of your mount.
