seekins rings

[batman292]

I amm getting a 700 in a mcree chassis and have no idea what height of rings i should get. Can anyone give me some guidance?

it depends on the size of your scope and the contour of your barrel. I am running the seekins medium .87" I believe with a 50mm and varmint contour with a little room to spare

Best thing to do is mount your base, and mock up the scope with some washers until you get the height you want, measure the stack when your happy. The adjustable cheek pieces make it less important, but you still want about 2" center of scope to center of bore. If you buy a 40mm objective scope with a 30mm tube, the lowest rings made will still leave the scope off the barrel a good ways... Don't get hung up on low, med ,high, when ring shopping, use an actual measurement.

I have a Remington 700P in a McRees.
I have a 20MOA Seekins base and Seekins Mediums on my 700. Scope is a Vortex Viper PST with a 50mm objective. Barrel contour is Remington Varmint. The rings provide plenty of room for the sunshade and Butler Creek caps.

I went with medium. I can't really play with it where I am at
