Cali_Ed Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Specs:Remington 700Bull barrelTps rail Looking to pick up some rings while all these deals are going on. So these are the rings I'm looking at ," tps super low rings".I understand companies measure differently.For these rings measurements from to online dealers they are.Midwayusa: .228"Brownells: .820"Tps website: .820"I used this website to help determine if the rings would work.http://www.mil-rad.com/scope_ring_calculatorWhen I use the measurement .820" it passesWhen I use .228" it fails.(Fyi: on the website I use the night force 50mm scope in the drop down menu. For the last question I input .5" and after it converts it to mm I subtracted 2 more mm just for extra cushion )Which is correct? Don't want to order rings that are way to low.

Toolndie7 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) What scope do you plan on running? A nightforce with a 50mm objective? I believe most rings are measured like the drawing shows from top of rail to center line of scope. Once you know the (actual) OD of your scope then you can be sure. Also if your objective hangs off your rail and over your barrel you may be able to sit the scope lower by checking with a straight edge on the rail to see what your clearance is above the barrel. Im not trying to be an ass just not sure what scope you are looking? A night force w/ a 50mm objective actually has a 59mm objective OD (2.322) /2 = 1.161 to centerline with a .820 ring that puts your objective (.341) almost 3/8" below your rail.

Cali_Ed Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 My tps rail height by it self is .310 according to tps.Placing a straight edge on the action to where the barrel tapers off it measures .21So what I used to determine this in conjuction with that website was .21"+.31"+.82" =1.34"1.34"-(2.26"/2)=.21" of clearance.
