I want to put a 50mm Nightforce scope on a Badger 20moa base
Rifle has a heavy bbl about 1" at the muzzle. Remington long action.
What height ring do I need to get the scope to clear the bbl?
Also what rings do you reccomend.

Re: Help with ring height.

Coach,

I am no expert and can't give you the answer that you seek but I think you need more info as the 1" at the muzzle is irrelevant.

Barrel contour and non tapered barrel lenth (the straight part before the taper).

Is this a remington factory varmint contour?
