Rifle Scopes Minimum ARC Ring Height for Leupold MK 5 HD 7-35 on Impact Action?

[skidhc]

Based on some "for sale" posts I have been able to find, it sounds like maybe Low (24mm) ARC rings will work for mounting a

Leupold MK 5 HD 7-35 on an Impact action but some information found is conflicting. Can anyone tell me for sure if the low ones will work or if I need Medium?​

Thanks,

Mediums work better Stephen

What barrel contour are you running. I’d error to a slightly taller ring height.

If you're using a hvy target contour, opt for 1.25 rings. My experience with a 5-25 mk5hd in 1.125 rings with proof sendero contour: obj so close to barrel, couldn't install the lense cover.

I run 1.125 on my ma40 contour barrel.
