I just purchased a remington sps tactical .308 and I have a nightforce scope with a 56mm obj. lense

Can anyone tell me what height rings I need with a 20moa rail? Or if you guys using a 20moa rail with a 50mm obj lense could tell me your setup so I can order one size larger...
 
Re: Remington 700 tactical users (scope rings)

Depends on the rail, some are taller than others. My 700 SPS-V has a weaver tac 20MOA extended rail, with low .335" TPS rings holding a Millet with a 56mm obj and have about 3/32" bezel to barrel clearance.

I have a 20" Tactical with NXS 56 mm objective. I am using NF Ultra-Lite rings with an EGW 20* rail and all is fine. Oh left out some important info they are NF lows.

I have the Aadland low rings with a 50mm objective with a EGW 20moa rail...and I have a little room. The mediums would work perfect for you.
 
Re: Remington 700 tactical users (scope rings)

pri 20 moa rail
nxs 3.5-15x50
mark 4 low rings
had to trim the bikini cover so it would fit between the scope bell and barrel. I would go with mediums
 
Re: Remington 700 tactical users (scope rings)

Leupold 15 MOA Base
Mark 4 Medium rings
SPS AAC
plenty of room for flip-up scope covers but just barely
 
Re: Remington 700 tactical users (scope rings)

I would give Seekins a call. They are great to deal with and have incredible products.
 
Re: Remington 700 tactical users (scope rings)

my 700 ltr/5r has a egw 20moa base and burris xtr low rings.

my brother-in-law has the 700sps tac with a farrell 20moa and xtr lows with the nightforce.

both setups work and clear the barrel.

I have TPS on my M700 SPS Tac. I love the rings good stuff.

Seekins 30 mm Medium-High rings allowed me to mount a NF 56 mm objective on a rem varmint profile barrel with just enough clearance for the scope caps and a small gap.

It had a 20 MOA base and was pretty much the same setup as you have.

Seekins Medium High's are what you need.
 
Re: Remington 700 tactical users (scope rings)

Just mounted my new Vortex PST with 50mm bell and it has more than enough clearance with a TPS 20MOA base and TPS 30mm low rings.

When the SPS-T was wearing the same rail and medium 1" TPS rings and a Nikon Buckmaster 40mm bell there was a lot more clearance than I wanted.
