Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 5-20x50 rings

[0V3RC10CK3D]

I read the sticky and apparently I'm too retarded to figure it out still.

What rings / ring height are you all running for this scope? I have a Remington 700 5R SS with a 20moa badger ordnance base.

Also what brand should I be looking at? Seekins or Badger Ordnance?

You need to get a set of Seekins Mediums and you will be happy.

My vote is for lows. Mine is on a Savage w/ McGowan barrel that is contoured the same as a Shilen #7. Base is a IOR 20 MOA, and I run Badger .823" standard rings. Scopes sits nice and low, but has room for Butler Creeks.

Will the low's fit? I'd prefer have it as low as possible. Anyone have pictures of their setup?

Re: SWFA SS 5-20x50 rings

The Seekins lows are only.003" lower, so I think they will work.

seekins lows worked for me on my savage

and my 10/22

Very helpful thank you! I've got the rings in my cart but just waiting to see if anyone with a Remington 700 posts just incase

Thanks!

Is that a Savage LRH in 338LM? I am also interested in one. What kind accuracy are you getting?

Thanks,

swfa set me up with seekens lows for my AI.

Re: SWFA SS 5-20x50 rings

Go with the lows. My savage has a full bull barrel with a 20moa EGW base and the scope clears no problem. The remmy contour is smaller so the lows will work fine.

I run low TPS and they have been perfect for me. Low TPS steel rings and 20 MOA steel base.

Low Aadland triple lugs will work too. They are .001" higher than Seekins lows.

Re: SWFA SS 5-20x50 rings

I have one in Burris XTR mediums (Rem 5R) and one in Warne Maxima low's (Savage fcp-k). On the Rem, the Burris low's were too low.

Re: SWFA SS 5-20x50 rings

I have Seekins low on an FN SPR with a 20 moa base. Left enough room for scope covers.

Re: SWFA SS 5-20x50 rings

I would recommend American Rifle Company mediums, what I mounted mine with.

Re: SWFA SS 5-20x50 rings

It also depends if you are using the factory stock or other stocks with higher cheek rest. I have the same Rem700 5R and the Seekins low rings work fine. However, I needed the high rings when I dropped it into the AICS.
