Rifle Scopes M1A + ARMS #18 + ARMS #22 QD = Which ring height?

[sstower1]

Hey Guys, I am outfitting my M1a with glass. I have an arms #18 (full rail) on the way as well as an SS 10X42 mil/mil, and I was wondering if anyone else has been this route. I will most likely be purchasing the arms #22qd rings and was hoping somebody could share some knowledge about which ring height will bring the SS10x42 the lowest without hitting the rear sight aperture? Thanks in advance, and my apologies if this topic has been covered.

I used the med. with a 3X9 SUper Sniper and I could have gone with the low. This issue is clearing the rear sight. I may change it out yet.

Thanks for the reply! Is the ocular bell the same diameter on the 10x42 as it is on the 3-9x?

do you have the standard M1A stock? Or do you have a cheek riser or pad?

My stock does have an adjustable comb.

Nobody else has the set-up Im asking about? I guess Im pioneering?

With the ARMS #18 and the Tasco/SWFA Super Sniper 10x42, the ARMS #22 low are good to go.

Pictures to illustrate the clearances are coming up. ))))))))

If I end up getting the low ARMS#22 qd rings I will post the results, If this set up will not clear the rear sight please stop me now.
