Rifle Scopes Nightforce 3-15 50 which height for rings?

[jakermeister]

I plan on getting a nightforce sometime in October and I'm starting to buy my base and rings. I'm looking to get both badger base and rings and need to know what height to go with. I'll be running the base with a 20MOA cant. The scope will be a 3-15 x 50 (not 56). Your input will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Jake

.885/Medium height should be good to go. Enough to have Butler Creek flip up caps, or the NF bikini.

.885" will work. Some rifle you can go as low as .823" center height.

Thanks for all the info. It will be going on a 700P in 308. I'm glad cstactical joined in. I plan on buying my nightforce from you when I've got the funds.

Standard (.823) rings will work on the PSS with the Badger Base, and leave about 5mm clearance for a Butler Creek cap. I personally like the std. rig setup for a good cheek weld, but if you want a heavier barrel later, the medium rings would be better.

.885 optical center line rings will work perfectly. i mounted one up yesterday

I had the same scope on my Remington 700 XCR. I used a Badger 20 moa base and low rings .823. I had plenty of room. I do like my scopes as low as I can get them.
