Question re scope rings on flat-top varmint AR15
I am building a precision AR with a Rock River stainless bull-barreled 20" upper, and with a Magpul Precision adjustable stock.
Topping it with a Super Sniper 10x42. That's the known stuff. The unknown is- which rings to get a good cheek weld? The Magpul stock is adjustable enough if the scope was too high, but what little info I have found indicates that the problem for an AR is that low mounts are more of a problem. Makes sense, with the buffer tube situation one cannot lower the stock. So what ring height should I be looking for. I was going to buy Warne Tactical Ultra-high rings (model 617, 0.85" high, solid steel) but figured I should do a little checking first. FWIW, I am not bothering with BUIS so quick detach or see through mounts are not a consideration. Thanks |

You need rings that are 1.40 - 1.55" high from rail to scope center.
