I can measure it later.

For a Butler Creek cap?

I need to know the diameter of the objective bell so that I know how high my rings will need to be to mount to an AR10.
My free float handguard has a rail on it at the same height as the receiver rail.

Badger USMC rings will be fine

Which ones Deadly? 1"? Not on a flat top.

Obj is 2.430. BC cap 47 if you need it.

Whatever height the Badger EBR rings are absolutely perfect for a AR10...

Remember, on an AR, you need to be higher than just trying to clear the objective. If you try to get it that low, it'll make for a shitty cheek weld/head position.

jasonk,
Thanks very much for taking the measurement for me. I will write down the BC cap number also.
I am assuming that a BC cap will not fit on the diopter being that it looks to be tapered?

The objective cap is a 14.
