Looking for some back up "coaching" and following the adage " measure twice, buy once
"
The sticky on ring height was very helpful and I used the formula of Rail Height + Ring Height - ( Bell Diameter x 0.5 ) in addition to the Mill Rad pass/fail calculator provided at the end of the thread that took into account the scope cover.
So, here is what I have as background. I realize some of this does not enter into the calculation but felt some of you might have a similar set up- Warne 20 MOA mount (front height of mount by specs is 0.248" ) on a Broughton 5.8 contour barrel (slightly bigger profile than Sendaro ). This is a 700 action on a McMillan A5. I will be using a NF NXS F1 3.5. The objective bell diameter is 2.32 " I was not able to get a highly accurate measurement on the rail height from the barrel to the base of the scope mount but its pretty close to 9mm (0.354")
I did the calculation with the Badger 30 mm rings using the standard height of .823", medium height of .885" and with the medium high at 1.00".
The net is the calculations failed with both the standard and medium height. With the medium high I had clearance of 0.11"
The main question-
Does using the Badger medium high rings on my set up make sense based on the sticky and your real world advice. I checked the math but looking for the field knowledge.
Thanks in advance!
