Need advice on scope height for M1A w EBR stock

[Mikillium]

Can anyone tell me what height rings to get that will clear a mark4 with 50 mm obj, on a M1A in a sage EBR stock, using an ARMS #18 mount? I acquired a set of night force rings that I believe are low, and I'm about 1/4 in or less to low. The objective hits on the rail. So I need to order another set, and was looking for some advice from someone already using this same set up! Thanks for any help!

Complete guess but maybe 1.125"?

Grab some pennies, your rifle and your scope... Stack pennies evenly front and back on the mount till your scope doesn't contact the stock or rear sight. Measure the stack of pennies. This is the rail to tube height you need. Add .591" or 15mm (for a 30mm tube I assume) to that and you have the rail to scope center height you need.

Shizam, you're done, and you don't have to rely on someone's best guess.

Quite welcome. CA isn't too horrible but planning to get out myself, mostly because of the people here.
