I'm probably going to drop the ball on a RAL 8000 S&B 5-25x56.... But not sure what height my mount should be...

I have 2 options of stocks I will be using on my M700 which is currently being built.

I'm either going to get an AICS 2.0 with a MARS rail on the action...or an AI AX and ditch the MARS rail for a standard picatinny base.

What height should my scope mound be to clear either one of those with flip up caps?

This is my first precision build, and I don't want to order a mount and return it because is too short or way too high.
