Savage 10 Scope Ring Height

[Fox84]

I'am mounting a Vortex Viper 6.5-20X50 on my Savage 10 LE. I have a EGW picatiny rail. I want to order rings with the scope. I was looking at the Burris Extreme Tactical rings. My question is what height? Burris has 4 heights(1/4-1inch)

Burris shows their ring height measurements as from the bottom of the scope tube to the bottom of the mount. Careful measurements can get you there.

I am using Warne low rings for my 6.5-20x44 Viper using a Weaver picatinny base. It looks like there is still enough room to mount a 50mm scope...

I used medium and had to cut slots/notches in the lens covers to get them on the scope since the lens was too close to the barrel. No way is low going to work.

What rings? What base? It makes a difference.

I read lows would work with the EGW rail, but maybe I should go mediums?

Fox84, you want the bore axis of the rifle as close as you can get to the axis of the scope, but with a 50 mm objective I can's see you getting away with anything but HIGH rings. You need to leave 1/4 inch between the objective and the barrel. You really need to measure the scope to the rifle to tell.

Good luck.

Thanks SSA

"You need to leave 1/4 inch between the objective and the barrel"
This depends on if or what type of lens covers you'll be using. As long as the objective doesn't touch the barrel, there's no problem. I want my scope as low as possible.

Not true. His scope has a 30mm tube. I have the same scope as the OP except mine has a 44mm objective lens. I'm using Low 30mm rings and still have plenty of room between objective and barrel. I would like it to be lower than it is, but can't find any extra low rings...

Conetrol rings and bases will go lower than most other brands, if low is what you want.

They are stronger, and of course look better too.

This is probably not going to help much but here's a picture of my Savage with a Badger Ordnance 20 MOA base, Leupold LR M4, and Burris Medium Signature Rings. Objective Bell Diameter is 58mm.
