I have a rem 700ss-5r, and bought a vx-7L in 4.5 x 18 x 56 with 34mm tube. The scope came with PRW rings that measured .928" high from top of base to centerline of scope. I bought a standard QRW 2-piece base. The scope still sits too high. I measured and the point of least clearance between the scope and gun is .180". This closest point is not even out where the cutout in the objective end is over the barrel.......it's back where the barrel swells at the chamber. Anyway, if the scope is lower my cheekweld will be better, and I'd like to take more advantage of the cutout objective end.I have read up on badger, farrel, leupold, and several others and can't find any rings/base to get the scope lower.
By the way, murphy precision has rings that are .825.........these are the lowest I have found and they are in titanium. I am considering ordering a set and just using them with my QRW base. Would really love some sound advice.
