Guys I am not near my rifle but I want to try make sure before I ordered a set of rings for my rifle I will have enough clearance. The Rem 700 with a EGW 0 moa base and extra low TPS rings holding a USO with a 44mm obj. Think it will clear?
Rifle Scopes Enough Space?

Re: Enough Space?
I use TPS super low rings and TPS 20 MOA base. I have enough clearance for my 50mm sightron. The USO will have a thicker tube than the sightron though.

Re: Enough Space?
what USO scope?
My ST-10 had a very sharp angle from the tube to the objective eyepiece which limited the rearward adjustability of the optic. I had to cut off a chunk of my base to make it all work properly. I'd personally wait until it all came in, stick magazines between your optic and base until you get the right height for you, measure the thickness of the magazines and then buy rings to fill that gap...

Re: Enough Space?
Wait until you have it in hand as suggested.

Re: Enough Space?
You should be OK assuming a Remington varmint contour.
Make sure where you are getting the rings from has them in stock-TPS has been know to be slow if you are ordering direct.

Re: Enough Space?
Sorry, I haven't gotten back. I have about 2-3mm of clearance with the 50mm objective and butler creeks. Are you able to find the outside diameter of the USO scope? The OD of the Sightron I'm using is 2.28 inches.

If you can't do it in hand... find a big box store with a good return policy and order 2 or 3 different heights, then return the rest...
