Rifle Scopes Ring height M1A

Re: Ring height M1A

The objective size doesn't mean as much as the eyepiece if you are running iron sights. Low rings will work on most scopes, if the eyepiece has a larger than average diameter then you will need medium.

Ahem, but not all mounts are as low as others.

I'm running a SA Gen III (follow the bloody instructions and it works okay), and the ability of the bell to hang out front and below the mount means a medium (3/8 to 1/2-inch) ring has PLENTY of room above the handguard.

I'd go as low as a cheap set of Weaver rings if I had a line on some...cheap...

ETA: The objective lens is 50 mm.
