Rifle Scopes low or medium rings for VX-L?

[nforrest85]

I have a Leupold VX-L with the 56mm objective and the "half moon cut out" low mount style. The only rings I had were for a rubber armored scope and had the little teeth, I didn't want to chance denting or messing up my new Leupy so I have been trying to find a set of rings, but no one here has them. I accidently bought Super Sniper rings not knowing they were for pictanny rails.
The other issue being that I am afraid the Burris tactical/SWFA SS rings would be to wide and the scope wouldn't have room to mount, length wise between the eye piece and objective. I wanted TPS lows, but they are back ordered. so thought I'd ask if anyones mounted a VX-L with low mount rings? the guy at SWFA said he thought I might need mediums, but wasn't for sure. I want it mounted as close as possible, naturally.

If you are using Leupold STD mounts, lows. My boss mounts VX-Ls to all his rifles, be 50mm or 56mm. Using Leupold STD Rings. TPS rings try Brownells they usually have them in stock..

Check out Conetrol, they have been family run and operated since 1964. When it comes to non-picatiny, they are the cats meow. I have them on my Weatherby 300, and they were hand me downs my dad bought in the late seventies. Check it out and give them a call.

well I ended up buying a set of TPS low mount steel rings. should do fine for me. and the people at cabelas customer service said that the VX-L with 56mm will fit on low rings.
