What height of rings are you using on your defiance deviant action with 20 moa integral rail and 50mm scope objective? I don't have the rifle together yet because I'm still waiting on parts so it's hard to measure. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

You’re likely going to be in the 0.9x” range.

Tried using Seekins low rings with a vortex AMG and they were too low.

Since then I went to a 34mm tube scope and since 1.0” was lowest NF made in 34mm Ultralight rings that is what I had bought. With the 50mm objective and a light palma barrel contour I see a decent amount of room that could probably be one step lower.
 
Found a picture to give you an idea what the 1.0” NF looks like with a USO B17 that is a 50mm. As you can see its a lot of room.

As stated when I first got it I had a vortex AMG and tried using the seekins low which is 0.82” with and it ended up being too low. But think i eventually went with another size up either 0.87 or 0.92” ring to get good fitment. But somewhere in the 0.9x” will definitely work.
