i need some quick help. im about to order some rings and a base for my 700 5r. the scope is a viper 6.5-20x44. i cant get all the measurements to figure out. the rings are burris xtreme tactical. the base is egw one piece. do i need medium or can i get by with low rings? i did the seeking calulator and it said low. but just wanted more input as there might me a height difference between burris low rings and seekins low rings. any advice would be greatly appreciated and i apologize for the question. i know it gets asked here alot but i cant find the measurements!!

also i can get the same mount in a 20moa for the same price. should i get the 20 moa base or the standard? dont know if ill ever get out to a 1k but for the same price??????? would it help to get the 20moa base and low rings to be sure? i want it low as possible of course. u guys are amazing and thanks!!
 
Re: quick help here

I have a 35moa rail with low rings but i have a 56mm obj. I think with a 20moa and lows you should be good. I had a 20moa and med rings with 56mm obj. and it was way to high.

This is just my opinion others should chime in and let you know if what i think is right for you.

thank you

Re: quick help here

You will be able to run lows. Burris tactical rings there lows are pretty close to most medium rings height. I have ran the burris lows with a 50mm nightforce on a bull barrel 243 Ackley. You will have no problems with lows on your set up.
