50mm objectives do not always require high rings. I am using medium height rings on my Savage 16 with a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x 50mm scope.

A factor no one has mentioned is that the diameter of the tube has an effect on the height necessary to clear the barrel. My Bushnell scope has a 30mm, not a 1" tube, and that helps provide the extra height above the action so that I don't have to use high rings. For what it's worth, I'm using a Deadnutz single base mount.
