Rifle Scopes Scope/Ring/Base fitment check

[///D]

I wasn't successful finding the exact combo when doing a search so I was looking for exact confirmation with the following combo:

R700 VTR
NF 3.5-15x56
Badger standard height rings
Badger 20MOA base

Will the standard height rings clear, or would mediums be ideal?

Just noticed the ring height info sticky....I apoligize. Other input from actual users of the same setup still would be appreciated though.

If you could figure out the difference in barrel tapers, this info will help.

Remington 700 5R
NF 5.5-22x56 NXS
Badger 20 MOA Base
Badger Standard Height Rings - will clear without bikini covers or BC flip ups, MAY clear if filing/sanding bottom of covers
Badger Medium Height Rings - clears with bikini covers or BC flip ups
