I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out what height ring I need for a Viper HS 50mm objective.
I'm getting Weaver 4-hole skeleton rings and here are the 30mm ring heights:
Low: 0.250"
Medium: 0.370"
Hi: 0.490"
X-Hi: 0.610
The kicker is, I have a 50mm PST on my .308 using the same damn rings, but I can't remember for the life of me what size I bought.
The rifle I'm putting it on has a very stout barrel but I'm not sure if the High rings are enough clearance...
So here's what I'm thinking. Vortex lists the scope as 2.2" in diameter at the bell.
Which is 56mm - 30mm tube = 26mm. Half that is 13mm so I would need a .511" base height to clear a barrel that is flush with a receiver.
My DIP 0moa is slightly over .25" off the barrel measuring to the very top of the picitinny rail.
So that means I need at least 0.26181811" high rings to clear the barrel.
Or did I fuck this up somewhere?
