Scope rings

[FEENIX]

Not all rails are the same height either...

I agree, and so is the design. The case in point is what @Stephen Prindle has versus mine.

Didn't read far enough...

That's exactly what I was leading to, but I don't know what ring the OP has, so I provided the picture as a reference. Some brands might also measure height differently. Below is an Arken SH 34MM 4-16x50 with a low ring and 20 MOA rail. He might want to consider extra low rings.

I'm thinking about getting an Arken scope like yours, can you give me your opinion on your scope, Thanks.

The SH 4-16x50 FFP 34MM (I have 2 other Arken in EPLs) is a budget-priced scope, but don't let that fool you; it's built like a tank. Surprisingly, the optical clarity (and I do not have the best vision) and trackability are very good for its price point. It's a 34MM tube, so it's on the heavy/bulky side, and if you are not accustomed to the Christmas tree-type reticle, it might be too busy. There are plenty of folks here who are happy with their Arken scopes. All Arken scopes are on sale now - an excellent time to buy. Good luck!

Agree with Jay, here is a similar scope on a 20 moa base these rings are .97 height would prefer lower.

So I saw a thing on YouTube that said . It's good to have a 1/4 inch clearance from the bottom of the 56mm end of the scope to help with heat inversion from the barrel .
That has me thinking , to do that also

Yep I have it , got a great price. I don't see me having an issue with it

Buy both the lows and extra lows and return whichever doesn't work for you. Cheek weld always comes into play also. It always easier to rectify cheek weld when scope is a tad higher versus being too low.

Most like theirs as close to the barrel as possible, and I like mine around .250" to allow clearance during recoil flexing.

Definitely need clearance. Thanks

I haven't used it yet. Seems to be everything the guys on YouTube say it is. I looked through it off my deck about 80 yards. Looked pretty good for me
