I already have a set of NF ultralite .885 rings and a NXS 5.5x22x50. I will be using the sunshade and Butler Creek Scope covers. Going to be putting this setup on a Surgeon 591 action mounted to an MTU contoured Krieger. I'm starting to think the .885s are going to be too short. Problem is the action and barrl are on order thus I can't actually peice it together for evalution. Anyone else have a similar setup or knows what is the shortest possible ring I can use? Can anybody shed some light on this?

Re: .885 rings over MTU contour setup?
I am thinking the Seekins Medium highs is what you will need with that contour.

order online... like $109.00
I know PGS on here runs similar rifles... might want to send him a PM too. He could tell you what he runs for height.

I have that <span style="font-weight: bold">same scope and rings </span>on a Surgeon RSR w/20moa mount and Krieger HVR contour barrel (close to the MTU). With the sunshade installed, you cannot slide the NF rubber cover on the sunshade. The BC lens cover would be a too tight of a fit on my rifle.
FWIW and my $.02

Thanks. I guess I'll definately need the 1.00" rings...dang. Oh well, gives me a reason to scroll the net and find a good deal on some.

The Badger Ordnance USMC DMR (1.031") rings work perfect with a Nightforce 5.5-22x50 NXS and 26" Bartlein #7 MTU contour bbl. 20 MOA base on Rem700 L/A.
Leaves just enough room but not too much.
