Anybody know offhand the bell diameter size of a NXS 5.5x20x50. Just picked one up and I want to keep my eyes open for a set of NF rings here on the Hide. Being mounted on a 700 PSS with a NF 20 MOA base. Not sure if the .885 will work. Thanks.....and yes I know there is a sticky.
 
Re: Need Answer To Quick Question

well my 12-42x56 has a bell diameter of 65mm so offhand I would say approx. 59mm, I hope someone with more knowledge can chime in.

A Nightforce 50mm takes a Butler Creek #43 Objective cover. According to BC a #43 measures 2.310" or 58.7 MM. Is that close enough??
