Rifle Scopes Help with Seekins Ring Height Question

[jaxfreebird]

I just got off the phone with Seekins to order rings for my Rem 700 5R 300 Win Mag. I ordered their 20 MOA base and low 34mm rings. I was told by the girl on the phone the low rings would work with my Bushnell DMR scope.
Im a little concerned that a 50" objective is going to be too big for low rings (0.92 inches). I didn't see a medium option... Anyone have a similar setup or know if these will work? She assured me I could send them back but Id rather get it right the first time...
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you should be fine. You will have some clearance there, but not alot. With my scope (50mm obj, Seekins Lows, Badger 20MOA rail), I had 3/32" clearance. I personally prefer mine close, but don't get so close that the barrel whip will hit the scope bell.

Perfect, I appreciate it! Dont think Ill have room for a butler creek cap with that. I ran through the numbers in my head and it seemed REAL close.

I had the .885 Ultra Lite NF rings on my Surgeon 591. I used a NF 3.5-15x50 and had zero clearance issues.

OP you will be fine these are Seekins low rings with a Bushnell DMR.

You will be fine. Here are the Seekins low 34mm rings with the S&B 3-20x50. Plenty of room even with large Tenebrex scope caps. The only thing that might come into play is with the short length of the Bushnell scope some people have the objective itself hit the front of the rail when adjusting eye relief to the rear. You could either get higher rings which really wouldn't give more than a 1/4-1/2" more rearward eye relief or just dremel off a couple of the front picatinny rail sections on the front of the rail. I would recommend the second. I only mention this as it might come into play with the long action. Don't worry too much. Easy fix.

Thanks to all. I was hoping someone had a similar set up!

I went with the 1" high rings for a 50mm objective and a 20moa Badger base. I kinda wish I would have gone with the low though as there is plenty of room even with BC caps.

.92 is perfect, here are a few pics with S&B 56mm objectives using .92 Seekins rings
