Rifle Scopes Vortex / Seekins PMR ring height for mounting 4.5-27 razor gen 2?

[vincent7]

Ok, so it looks like I narrowed down my ring choice for the Razor 4.5-27 gen2 which I just ordered.

Next question would be which ring height I would be able to get away with.

The rifle this will be mounted on a savage 10 action with this stock;

Tough call...you like your scopes slammed down low? I have a 56mm Cronus and Tract both sitting on .92" rings, although on ARC Nucleus actions.

You'll want at least 1". I'm pretty certain I have 0.92", and there is not much space between my barrel (proof comp contour probably does not help) and objective.

If you don't take Rob01s advice, then call Vortex and they will help you.

I prefer the 1.1" PMR rings personally. It gives me a little more bolt clearance on the 90° lift rifles and gets my head a little more upright when in the prone.

Higher than 1” works as well. It just gives more clearance. Without an adjustable cheek piece I wouldn’t go higher than the 1.1” though.

I never had any issues with bolt clearance with 1” though and I run all 90 degree with large knobs. But again a little higher won’t hurt.
