Re: nightforce owners ring height help

i run seekins medium rings on mine. You can actually run the lows but the soft cover and butler creek covers won't fit on it if you do.

Mine are mediums. The low will fit most likely, but you may have to notch the scope cover to get it to clear.

Mine are Badger USMC Medium.

Re: nightforce owners ring height help

Seekins 20 moa bases and low rings.
They leave plenty of room on a Varmint/Sendero contour, but you'll have to sand down a Butler Creek objective cover to fit.

I run a 20 MOA base with Nightforce low ring with Butler Creek covers and I clear my varmint contour barrel by about 1/4". Any ring measuring about .885" will work. That height is low for Nightforce, and medium for Badgers.

Burris XTR low

Re: nightforce owners ring height help

how much clearance do you have from the bell to the barrel when running low rings

Re: nightforce owners ring height help

'bout the same as fw707, less than 0.25"
