Rifle Scopes Rings for Howa 1500 Axiom with NF 5.5x22x50mm

[dzlfarmboy]

Hi new here, Im looking to purchase a NightForce 5.5x22x50 for my new Howa 1500 .308 Axiom rifle and im trying to figure out what height rings I will need for this combo to keep it close to the barrel as possible.

If you've had any experience with this combo let me know what you've found to work best.

Revised, I just switch the title to a 50mm objective as i believe I am picking up a used one on the boards.

Thanks Brett

what base are you using? egw has them in stock they are the same as a wetherby vangard. you should get away with seekins medium high.

Sorry, I am using a EGW 20MOA base. Thats what my friend is using on his Rem 700 with heavy barrel with Badger 20moa base

Looks like im picking up a 5.5x22x50 NXS and looking into the Seekins 30mm rings anyone know if the mediums or lows will fit best?
