please tolerate me for a minute...how do you truly measure your scope above bore height?

On a remmy I use the center of the exhaust port to the center of my rings.


You've been tolerated....

Re: scope height?

wouldn't you want to measure to the center of the tube on the glass?

The center of my USO rings are the center of the tube, the rest is close enough for government work...

Re: scope height?

1. measure the diameter of the barrel directly below the objective lens this = a
2. measure the diameter of the objective lens this = b
3. measure the distance between the bottom of the objective lens and the top of the barrel this = c

scope height = (a/2)+(b/2)+c

NOTE: measuring the distance between the objective and the top of the barrel can be difficult especially with a bull barrel. Typically this method requires removing the action from the stock.
