Rifle Scopes TRG ring height.... sorry....

[Ackley Improved]

I hate to start this thread with another "what rings" for a rifle. Have searched through this forum and on the web, but have finally been reduced to asking... for that I apologise!

Rifle is a TRG22 in 308 using the Badger 20MOA rail. Scope is 5.5-22X56 NXS with Butler Creek flip ups.

There seems to be a couple opinions on which height.. some say low (0.8XX") area, others say medium (1"). Which is correct?

I also see Seekins has sizes in the middle of these, so perfect choice could be the 0.9 Seekin rings.

Cheers

IMO proper ring height is much more important to be based on proper eye placement behind the scope than "get it as low as possible".

This will vary based on your physical cheekbone/eye relationship.

Agreed with above. You must size the rings to your comfort, and then use the lower setting as a secondary measurement.

I would avoid the Seekins but that is my opinion. I would stay with the Badgers or USO, or even the Spuhr mount.

I run Badger 1" on my TRG's with Near 25 MOA base's but run S&B 5-25x56's. For me perfect and allow caps with aprox 1/4" clearance.

All true about the rings being suited to the shooters body, that said the TRG stock is much more comfortable to me, when I have the scope absolutely as low as I can get it. I have a 50mm objective thats maybe an eighth of an inch off the barrel and I still have about a third of an inch spacer on the cheekpiece and the buttpad elevated by 1/2 inch or so. Its more stable and comfortable for me to get REALLY low when shooting prone.

Our Medium High's should be perfect, but i will swap you as many times as you need to make sure the height is where you want it.
