    Correct ring height for this scope?

    How do I know which rings to get for this scope??

    I know 34mm in diameter, just don't know the proper height to stay off of my 20 moa rail...

    The rifle that it's going on is even more important; you want the scope as close to the bore as you can.

      It depends. 4 things come into play here the rifle, scope, rings, and the base. Since it sounds like you have everything except the rings. Place 2 stacks of pennies between your base and scope a d keep adding pennies until the scope clears the rifle. Measure 1 stack of pennies then order your rings.

        You also want the scope height to match your cheek weld, not your cheek weld to adjust for the scope height.
        Close your eyes. Shoulder the tifle. Open your eyes. The scope should be the correct height and relief without moving your head at all.
        Con spacers, rings, risers, scope diameter all adjust the system to you. Not you to the system.
