    Trying to plan scope rings for new build. I don’t have my scope in hand yet and was wondering how much the Tenebraex adds to the diameter of the objective. I don’t think ARC lows will work. My DMR with BC will not clear on my Tikka with 24mm height rings. It fits without the BC but not with. Hoping seekins .97s will work with the NX8. Mil-Rad calculator says it will but barely. I added 2mm for the cover thickness and 2mm deducted for the 40MOA rail. Probably closer to 1 realistically.

    Setup:
    Tikka T3X
    Mountain Tactical 40 MOA rail
    Medium Palma Barrel 1.130 breech diameter

    I need it as low as I can get it. I can’t raise my cheekpiece above where it is with the ARC lows. It’s perfect and higher interferes with the bolt.
