    Rifle Scopes Vortex HD gen II 4.5-27 question

    I'm not seeing any 34mm rings higher than 1.45 outside of the Burris signature whatever they are that I'm using now. They're 1.5. I have 30MOA in the rings from the inserts in addition to the 20 MOA base. What can I say I want all up elevation lol

    Thanks. I doubt 1.45 which seems to be standard ring height will work with a 20 MOA base and caps.
