Rifle Scopes Ring Height - Rem 700 PCR - Vortex PST Gen II - help

[bluewolf]

Guys,
I recently purchased:
Remington 700 PCR in 6.5 creedmoor (m-Lok)

Optics will be
Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 EBR-7C MRAD FFP (30mm tube)

I am looking at Nightforce ultra light rings and Vortex precision match rings.
What height do you recommend and which brand? Other recommendations are welcomed.

 

[Trigger Monkey]

Either brand is fine. For that set up I'd go with either NF A108's (1.265" high) or Vortex 30-126's (1.26" high) to clear that extended mounting rail and handguard.

The Vortex (or Seekins) 1.26” will give you just under 1/2” clearance.

Thanks, yours looks good. What optic is that? And how do you like the rifle?

What optic is that?

Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27X50

Correct, Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27. Good eye! I am not a Remington guy, but I really like the PCR. I replaced the craptastic trigger with a trigger tech but otherwise it is GTG.

I got Vortex 1.26 rings for the same scope on a Lone Peak Fuzion and M24 barrel, as per Vortex CS recommendation. It appears to be OK
