    I'm considering a set of Burris double-dovetail bases and rings for an upcoming build. It appears this combination will give me a lower total height than a Picatinny rail setup. I'm curious if anyone runs this combination. If so, can you tell me the height of just the dovetail base? I can't find that dimension anywhere.

    The lowest height Picatinny base I can find is Seekins. The lowest 30mm rings are Seekins or TPS. Adding it up, I have the following;

    Seekins 20 MOA base - 0.29"
    Seekins/TPS 30mm low rings - 0.82"
    <span style="font-weight: bold">Centerline height = 1.11"</span>


    By comparison, it appears double-dovetail rings are lower, but what is the height of the base?

    Burris DD base - ???
    Burris 30mm DD ring - 0.77"
    Centerline height = <span style="color: #CC0000">???</span>

    Front base is .21" at centerline. .16" from top of base, to inside bottom of ring (30mm signature, medium). .37" from receiver to scope tube.
