rifle: FN SPR 20"
mount/base: factory 1 piece (near mfg)
scope: Leupold Mk4 4.5-14x50

Anyone know if Leupold Mk4 medium steel rings will provide enough clearance (with butler creek caps) between barrel and objective? Didn't find any definitive info doing a hide google search. Nothing on the leupold website mount "guide" for FN rifles.

Can't help w/ MK4 rings, but I had medium Badger rings on my SPR w/ a NF 3.5-15x50 and a S&B 4-16x50, both w/ BC caps.

Well, it's about as close as it gets, but they worked.... and position the scope to my liking with this particular stock.
