I bought a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x50 AO Riflescope Dead-Hold BDC Reticle CF2-31023 - scope for my AR-15 but since the rifle has a 14" long picatinny tube the large objective hits the top of the rail.

I also got the Vortex Optics 1 Inch Riflescope High Rings, Picatinny/Weaver Mount thinking "high" rings by the same company would be high enough but as I said the large end impinges against the rail anyway. Do any of you know if Vortex makes a higher set of rings than their high set?

Short of that, is there an extension that will tighten onto the rail that has a second rail 1/4" above it? That's all I'd need to clear the rail.

Thanks in advance.
