Ring Height Question - Razor Gen 2 56mm on 700 5R

[maidendeth13]

Mounting a Gen 2 Razor 4.5-27x56 on a 700 5R. Will be sitting on a nightforce 20moa base.

Normally I'd just measure everything but as each component is still on it's way to me I don't have the actual scope or the rifle here yet to measure from and would like to order the rings ASAP so I can put it together for this weekend.

I plan to use the seekins/vortex precision matched rings for the build.

I've gone through pages and pages of google, snipers hide forums, etc and can't find this particular combination so any help is appreciated.

The scope I bought came with 1.45" rings but I think those are going to be high for me and may be better suited to a RPR (hint hint if anyone's looking for some).

Anyways, sorry for yet another ring height question in here but also thank you for the help!

Depending on the ring manufacturer, med high or high will probably work.

Here is a great tool for figuring out ring height: http://www.mil-rad.com/scope_ring_calculator

That's the tool I'm trying to use but I don't know the scope mount + barrel taper height as I don't have the rifle yet.

I'm hoping to order the rings before I get the rifle so I can shoot this weekend.

If I have to wait for the rifle to arrive before ordering rings I won't be able to shoot for awhile as I've got events the next few weekends. #firstworldproblems
