Defiance AnTi Ring Size?

[ColtSAA.45]

So I'm putting together a lightweight hunting rifle and am going to be picking up a set of NF ultralite rings for it. As you can see below, it is an AnTi with the factory pic rail. I threw a NF NXS 3.5-15 on it with a Larue LT104 mount that I robbed from another rifle. This mount is a 1.5" height. I am currently thinking of buying the 1" rings but would like to see if anyone had experience with this action and ring size before I pull the trigger.

Without knowing your barrel contour, it would be hard to give you any info

Eh, if he aligns the bottom of the objective bell with the top of the receiver he’ll have a good enough amount of clearance, not too much and definitely enough. He can do that without a barrel.

ETA: Oh, and OP, if you buy another mount (or even rings), the ARC MBRACE line are

It'll be a proof sendero contour

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look!

My anTi has a Proof sendero with Talley 1" direct mount rings. If I went any lower, I would hit the scope with bolt handle. Plus side is cycling the bolt opens the lens caps if they are closed...

I gotcha, so 1" for me would probably be more than ample room considering the pic rail on my receiver is about ~3/8". Thanks! Nice rifle btw!

Keep in mind that Talley measures completely different. They measure bottom of ring to bottom of opening. I'm using a 1" scope. So my actual height above reciever is 1.5".

1" is what I use with 50mm objective scopes and your same setup.

Thanks! I'll pick up the 1". I think it'll work nicely

Only thing I've seen on some large flip caps that don't have the notch for the barrel / dont have the two ears on the cover (think schmidt US scopes), you may need to turn the cap 90 degrees for a side flip open. But the 1" ring height for your setup is ideal.

.850 is perfect if you have a fixed comb. TT 3-15x50, Defiance Ruckus, Proof Sendero

I see you have a Manners Hunter so 1" would be just fine
