Rifle Scopes Kahles K624i Rings - Tenebraex Scope covers

[Tony1320]

I have a Surgeon 6.5x47 with a Heavy Palma barrel arriving soon and I will be putting a K624i on it but not sure if Nightforce Medium rings (1.0") will clear with Tenebraex scope covers.

Can anyone running a similar setup confirm?

I have a K624i on my rifle with an M40 or MTU contour (I forgot) mounted in ARC low rings at .94 to centerline and i have a little room.

Try this too

[rail height + ring height] - [bell diameter x 0.5]

Had a Kahles on a set of Seekins low .92 with a barrel slightly less diameter with decent room.

Were you guys using scope covers with the low rings?

I have on the bikini covers that came with the scope

Thanks for the info. I should be fine with the mediums

I believe i had around .100 clearance maybe a little better.
I'd think that'd allow caps to clear.

Tenebraex caps and ARC Low rings. I have the medium rings but this seems to feel good and haven’t tried the higher position yet.

Scope cover might be a tight squeeze.

My rifle has a medium palma barrel, and with a K624i and Tenebraex caps, I mounted them in the Seekins 34mm 1.0" High rings and there's still over .10" of clearance between the rim of the Tenebraex cap and the barrel. I could have mounted them in the Seekins Low .92" and I still would have been ok. Keep in mind that Seekins calls their .92" ring Low and the 1.0" ring High. With your heavy palma countour your barrel is about .1" larger in diameter and you might not have room for the Tenebraex cap with a .92" low ring. If I were you I'd go with the 1.0" high rings to be on the safe side. Having the scope .08" higher isn't going to make any difference to your cheek position.
