Remington 5r with 1.125 Nightrforce rings an 20moa base.The scope is a 5-22*56.My question is if I were to go with lower rings say the 1 inch.Would I still be able to use my stock Nightforce cover?I`m sure someone here has some experience on this.Thank you for any info.
 
Re: Nightforce ring height

With the heavy rib around the bikini cover it should still fit with 1" height rings on a 5R. It just barely fits on my barrel which is a heavier contour. You can always trim up the bikini cover a little too.
