Ring hight DPMS 308

[fastfatkid]

Hey guys you answered my trigger question quite well so I thought I would throw out another issue I'm having . I have a DPMS a3 upper with a Magpul PRS stock . I have a Leupold Mark 4 , 6.5x20 scope with Leupold Mark 4 high rings and they seem low to me. I'm wondering what others are using? I know this is subject to personal preference. Just trying to get some idea what is working for others without buying different set and trying them.

thanks Jeff

You can run pretty high with the PRS adjustable cheek rest, but I still prefer to run in the 1.2-1.4" region. Any lower than 1.2" and odds are you can't use them with a 50mm obj. Depending on your facial structure you probably will not be able to use the scope lower than 1.1". FYI, I have high cheek bones and often other shooters can't use my rifle without adjusting the rest. YMMV....

These measurements are all to the center of the ring.

I'm going to assume a 50mm obj. Go with 1.4 and be done with it. If you go with 1.2 it may/may not be comfortable to shoot

I have a DPMS .308L with a Nikon Monarch 3-12x42 and have the high rings, and I have replaced them with X-tra high and it seems much more comfortable. Hope that helps.

yep, i have x-tra - high on all my AR's with PRS stocks, one set of xtra high NF titanium, and Badger Ultra high, running both sets with 56mm objective NXS's, and one set of Knights (high with 50mm obj NXS).

1.5" would be the "standard" height above the rail for AR sights. I'm typically happier with something closer to 1.2", but that may not be sufficient for clearing a 50mm objective (depending on the handguard, of course).

Re: Ring hight DPMS 308

The rings I'm using are 1.5" to centerline of scope. Mk4 high are 1" I think, so a bit too low for flattop AR.

I use a LaRue Tactical SPR-S Mount LT-158
with my Zeiss 4.5x14x50 and the mount has 10MOA in it as well...

I am using the PRS along with a high rise Warne Tactical 1 piece mount and 5-20x50 Trijicon Accupoint.

My Larue LT-104 has a height of 1.5". That is very comfortable for me.
