Sorry to make another thread on this. I HAVE read the sticky on measuring to get the needed height of the rings, but am having trouble measuring due to the abnormal shape of my Remington 700 barrel.
Gun: Remington 700 SPS 308 Win
Rings: Seekins 4/6
Base: Seekins 1 Piece 6-48
Scope: SWFA 5-20x50 SS (don't have it in hand yet to measure)
So with that, does anyone have a similar set up that wouldn't mind sharing the heights of their rings preferably in inches?
What's happening is that I had a really cheap Vortex on the rifle as a place filler, but there was a failure of the Leupold rings which caused damage to the rings and the scope. Vortex has offered to replace the scope so I just sent that out, but have not heard back form Leupold.
I am waiting on the SWFA SS 5-20x50, but in the meantime would like to get the new Vortex mounted so I can do some more shooting. I figured that since the Vortex is a 1" that I would just buy these 1" inserts from Midway for the Seekins rings until I get the SWFA.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
