How much scope clearance from the barrel do I need if I want to fit some tenebraex flip up scope caps. I have about a 4mm gap at the moment and I was wondering is this enough ?
That's pretty close. I had a similar issue when going with a straight 1.25" taper barrel for a recent build, and they wouldn't fit. If I remember I had 3mm clearance. I feel like I should still get higher rings.
Thanks for the replies. I will have to look at another brand so. I only bought the scope and rings and don't want to get higher ones. Scope is a sightron sv 10-50x60 so there might not be much available
Keep in mind the cap can be rotated such that the hinge is on the 9 or 3 o'clock position. This greatly reduces the clearance.
Here's a 50mm obj on a tapered barrel with a 1" high ring. The cap will not clear when the hinge is in the 12 o'clock position, but this isn't a problem when rotated 90deg.
