[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1630109, member: 31264"] If you are putting a picatinny rail on the rifle, I would stop worrying about ring height. Just get the lowest rings of the style you like and diameter of your scope tube. Most likely, the picatinny rail will result in way more height than you need for what you are doing. Best to also make sure that the bottom of your scope doesn't have bumps in it for the adjustment saddle that can still clear the base. That may also dictate higher rings than ideal. Generally speaking, I love Picatinny rails and rings. However, I don't love how high that usually makes my line of sight. As for the rings themselves, I usually opt for the best I can get. I especiallly like the Leupold Mark IV rings and the Nightforce. They are built like a brick Outhouse and look great too. [/QUOTE]
