wondering what Pro Series rings I should get? Med or Extra High ? Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission. | ||

A 50mm objective is getting up there, so I suspect you might need high rings. Extra high might be for 56mm. | |||

Terry- It will depend heavily on what you are putting it on. For instance, on a Contender, most scopes with 50mm objectives work fine in low rings. Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

And also what you are using it for. I have found that the higher the scope is mounted, the easier it is to spot your impacts, as the rifle jumps less. But this is dependent on a stock which can be set up to suit the high scope (both cheek piece and butt plate). On my .308 I have the scope mounted very nearly 3" over bore, and I can spot the impacts easily even at 100 yards. Rifle comes virtually straight back. | |||

Yes, Peter, that is all to do with having less drop at the heel of the stock. If anything the scope may plunge at the front and rise slightly at the back, analogous with a car body when braked hard. That, I suppose, might even limit your target view for a millisecond. I guess having a scope three inches above the bore might make it less likely the barrel will blot out your view and I guess you guys are both talking tactical rifles with no drop at heel, where extremely high mounts are needed to get your eye behind the ocular. | |||

Mine is in no way a tactical rifle. It is a single-shot informal-target-and-general-mucking-about rifle. And yes, it is mounted on a sloped rail, but that is just to be able to reach the ranges I shoot at with it using my old Nightforce scope, which has very limited travel compared to the latest scopes. The slope is only 20MOA though, and hardly visible. | |||
