Rifle Scopes ring height for nightforce

[justintimesc]

It's time to order my rings for my build that will be finishing up next week. Have a nightforce and wanting to mount it in badger ordnance or nightforce rings. Will be using a 20MOA rail from either badger or nightforce depending on the rings I go with. Gun is a remington 700 with a m40 contour barrel which is 1.200" for 4" X .913" @ 24.
I did check the sticky but I just wanna get this right the first time. All help is appreciated.

I would think you would be safe with Badger Med. Not sure on the NF sizes. I would stick with Badger rings.

The Badger Med are also .885, so you will be good to go.

Maybe it would be a good idea to call Nightforce just to check. I'm running the 0 cant Burris two piece steel bases (tactical?) with medium rings with my Nightforce 5.5-22X50 and it was close. I had to shave some material from the rubber covers that came with the scope to be able to get the front cover on.

I'm new to bolt guns so please forgive my ingnorance, but if I understand the way the 20MOA base works, it will cant the front of the scope downward, so it might be tight for your application. I'm shooting an SPS Tactical, btw. I think that my barrel has a taper similar to yours being .890 at the muzzle.
