Just seeing if anyone is running a nf scope with a 56mm obj on a rifle with a #7 contour barrel. What I am looking for is a ring height.

Thanks
Matt
 
Get the .97" height. I use 1" height with my 34mm tubed 56mm objectives and the M24/40 contour which is a very similar contour.
 
I'm running the .97 on my sightron 56mm (65mm OD) OBJ. MTU contour. 2.55mm from bell to barrel. If I had went with the .92, I would only have 1.275mm from B to B. The .87 would set me on my barrel.

I forgot to mention. Remington 700, 20 moa leupold base. I'm hoping to get as close as possible without touching. Thanks for the info so far, keep it coming.
 
This is how close the 1" height are on my 56mm objective and M24/20 contour.
