Rifle Scopes Ring Height for ATACR 4-16x50 F1?

[richardca99]

Does anyone have experience mounting an ATACR 4-16x50 F1 on a pic rail with low or medium rings? The rifle is a GAP with a Defiance CRF short action, pic rail, and a #3 Bartlein contour. Unfortunately, I'm on deployment and can't access the rifle to take measurements.

What's the likelihood I could get away with low rings like the Seekins or Warne Mountain Tech? Or, is it a given that I'll need to go medium? My pic rail (whatever GAP puts on their rifles) does protrude past the action/barrel interface just a bit. Thank you!

I’m running one on an AR with a 1.18” to centerline Era-Tac mount and can still utilize the Tenebraex objective cover. Different application but I’d say the mediums will be no worries.

Medium rings on tikka CTR with the 4-16 ATACR.

Just curious...could you have gotten away with lower, or is that what you needed for clearance?

APA .856" is about as low as you can go before hitting turret housing on the pic rail.

Any lower and lense cover will not fit.

Is that photo showing the 0.856 APA on both the 42 and 50mm? If so, I assume that you couldn't even run a lens cover on the 50mm?

.856" on both, correct.

Lense cover would clear with TL-3 pic rail and proof sendero lite profile.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the feedback--very useful.
