There's plenty of these out there but I can't seem to find anyone out there that's using the Vortex tactical rings, and therefore don't know which size to use??

Anyone have one of these with a 20 moa base using the vortex tactical rings?? I'd like to figure out what size I need so I can get them ordered.

Thanks for any help....
 
I think your asking to specific a question . Any model 10 with heavy barrel will be the same . As well as 30mm tube and 50mm objective . Plenty a guys with that on here . I also believe the rail is going to be close to any others . They are standard type rails . Unless your trying to get the scope to sit a couple thousandths above the barrel . Just get close . When you start dialing 20 or 30 moa into your scope . That 1/16 of an inch higher your scope may be sitting is not going to matter . You will still need to dope the rifle to the load and at that point you'll be gtg .

I was lucky my LGS let me open up rings to test on my rifle before I bought them . :)

No personal experience with these, but it seems like mediums would work.
You could call Vortex.
 
On my heavy barreled 308 (not a savage) I went with the Leupold 15Moa base and medium Leupold mark 4 rings, the scope I have is 44mm but with the same medium rings I easily have clearence for 50mm.

I have a savage fp,,, pretty much same rifle

I also have a 20m base on it and I am using a 50mm objective scope

I have low rings on this gun and I can measure .170 between the barrel and scope bell

I have a set of burris rings that measure .250 from the flat to the bottom of the radius of the ring,,,,, so I'm chicken to change them out,,, if I measure correctly that will put the scope right on the barrel

if you want I can measure the rings I have on the scope for you,,, I have another set loose

savage 308fp,,,20m base,,6x24x50,,30mm tube ,, low (IIRC)rings and that puts the scope bell .170 off the barrel

I went thrugh it ,,, just like you,,, medium rings will put you way up there

I bought about 10 different sets of rings for this 30mm scope,,,, nice thing is I now have a good selection of rings

if you want the ring measurement pm me and I will get it to you

ymmv

fire4606,

I just ordered this same scope and I am putting it on a Savage model 12 in .308

I'd love to hear what you are setting it in and how well this setup works for you.
 
Guys ,,

I don't know the base brand,,, I bought the rifle from a local guy new unfired less the scope,, the base was already on it so I don't know about it

the rings are knock off burris extreme

I was looking for a solid set up,,, these rings are pretty solid,,,6 screws on each ring

of course this was the 5th or 6th set I bought to get the scope down on the barrel

these rings are .245 from the flat to the bottom of the radius and I remeasured for fire today and I have .145 between the barrel and scope bell

I also have a set of burris steel extra low that measure .170 and that will put the scope about .075 off the barrel but them my lense cover won't go on the scope,,,, to close to the barrel

this rifle is a savage 10 fp 308,,, it has a heavy barrel

I hope this info helps ,,,, and maybe saves you guys a buck or two

I might be able to get you guys a demension for the front thickness of the base if you think that would help,,, don't know how much difference there would be from base maker to base maker,,,, but I will see what I can do if someone needs that info

hope I have helped
