Need help with my setup

[Lomax787]

Hello, I'm new to the site and needed some input. I have Savage 110ba with the factory 20 moa rail I just bought a Atacr 5x25-56mm w/moar reticle and got two answer from NF about what rings I need. So my question is what rings? 1.125 or 1.375? And single rings or unimount?

ring choice is personal preference. If you are not using a clip on NVD in from of your scope then pick the lowest rings that still give the objective bell of your scope some clearance above the barrel. If you are using (or plan to use in the future) a clip on NVD you will want a higher scope height to allow alignment with the NVD.

also not sure why you were only given 2 choices in height, you can choose different brands that should offer multiple sight heights. 1.075, 1.125, 1.185, 1.25… you will probably end up in the 1.125-1.25 range. but most gun shops will let you try the rings out in the store to check which you prefer. (if you post your location I'm sure somebody here could point you towards a place to do so.)

I usually choose rings as apposed to a unimount for cost reasons, however if you wanted to ad another 20moa giving you a 40moa base you could get a 20moa spuhr mount.

welcome to the hide.

Well when I called i just asked what they recommended for my rifle and caliber. I never gave details like ballistics or the distance I'll be shooting. However it is pretty broad, I don't see me going over 1500 just cause the lack of ranges however I'd like the ability to go over 2000 if needed

Look at this thread. It shows a 1" height rings with ATACR on a similar setup. Should work with the medium Nightforce rings.
