Rifle Scopes Scope Ring Height Question

[Datuck]

Building my fist rifle Begara BMP 6.5 CM. Just ordered my scope Mark 5HD 5-25x56 TMR. I need to now order what I need to mount the scope. How do you determine which rings to order, so the scope is high enough not to hit or interfere with the barrel? Is there a chart? measurment?

Thanks
David

I 3d printed a set of scope hight test rings. There are files available online if you have access to a printer. I'm considering redesigning the rings and offering the sets for sale on here if there is some interest. Probably in 1", 1.125", 1.25", 1.375" & 1.5" heights. So 8 "rings" total for like $15 shipped CONUS. Sorry, I'm just thinking out loud. If your interested shoot me a pm.

For that set up 1-1.2" height rings will work. I use 1" height with my 34mm tubed 56mm objective scopes. Here is a Rem700 with Seekins base and M24/40 contour barrel. Plenty of room between cap and barrel.

^Here’s a good source that’s easy to use. Between this, and the info on Mile High’s FAQ section about ring height, there pretty much isn’t a system that can’t be covered.
