Rifle Scopes Seekins ring height for a Tikka T3 50mm obj?

[Jeeprider]

I'm ordering a pair of Seekins 30mm rings for my Tikka T3 varmint with an EGW 20 moa base and a Vortex 6-24x50mm obj . Which height rings would work for this setup with objective clearance and proper cheek weld? Thanks for your thoughts.

Vortex 6-24x50mm is 2.26"
Seekins Lows are 0.823
Mediums are 0.870
Medium Highs are 0.92

Half of 2.26" is 1.13"

1.13" less 0.823" = 0.307"
1.13 less 0.87 = 0.260"
1.13 less 0.92= 0.210"

Now call EGW and ask or measure the front height of your 20 MOA EGW rail. If the height is more than 0.307" you can run lows, and so on.

If you are going to run BC scope covers add another 0.04"

You need .5" of clearance between the top of the receiver and the bottom of the scope

I have used warne direct mount mediums before and they were perfect
With a base you could probably use lows

What he said ^^^ BobinNC

I'd run med. highs if no stock pack or get the highs if you are gonna run a stock pack. Give you enough clearance with that contour barrel and still fit the covers on the scope.
