- You’ve got the gun, you’ve got the rifle, now you need to get the best rings to hold them together… But what height? That’s the question we address here in this episode with Reuben Aleckson across the table from Jimmy and Mark. Full disclosure, if you’re looking for a definitive answer for your particular gun and scope combo, this isn’t going to be it, unfortunately. That said, we do go into all the reasons why that is such a difficult goal to achieve and all the aspects of your setup you should consider when making that final decision. Should you be shooting to get the scope as low to the bore as possible? Or perhaps cheek weld is the most important? How about clearing the objective bell or mag ring? All good questions! We hope this podcast can help.

Depends if you have a Burt or Ernie head
The higher your sight over the bore the greater the delineation effect from leaning. Lean right and you shoot right, the higher your sight the more "drift" you will have. the use of a level helps to eliminate this.
Some guys say my 300blk AR looks funny... I have a UTG 1 inch riser, then a cantilever mount for my Primary Arms LPVO. I love the height because I can pull the gun up and get on target with almost no head movement. When walking around, its much more natural and I can see better
Close your eyes, mount the rifle and get settled, then open your eyes. Move the scope and/or comb height to where you need them. you should be able to open your eyes and not have to move for a perfect sight picture, just like NPOA.
Does the persons height play into the descion on what height to use? I have a AR with your Razor HD E II, but no mount yet because I don't know what height to use. I am 6'7" with long arms obviously and a longer neck. Not like a giraffe but it is slightly longer than normal. I plan on using the gun for more tactical/action shooting on the range since I am military and thats what I am training for. Would this push me more towards a higher mount, if so how high should I go? Thanks for any information you can provide.
Can you do .17hmr?
Just picked up some Vortex Precision matched rings for my new Gen 2 PST 5-5x50 on my .308,got medium and yet to check,can return if not right
Set rings to your eye. Height doesnt matter. Lower setting has more negative effect than a higher ring.
Keep em coming guys
I'm in the low as I can get crowd.... All my scopes are as low as I can go without touching.... I'm all about barely sliding a dollar bill between the objective bell and barrel
Perfect timing for this as I just bought a new vortex scope and I need some new rings. Thanks!
Just came across this and it helps because as a person that wears glasses it is frustrating to figure out which rings to buy. You guys make some very good points again keep up the good work and thanks.
Love the "10 Minute" Pods. Great subject
One thing not discussed was the effect of length of pull. On a standard bolt gun, the further you move away from the gun, the lower your head lowers and vice versa. People with longer necks tend to crawl the stock, which generally forces the head down, and you end up looking through the top of your eyes, which, as pointed out, is not desirable. Higher rings can help this. A cheek piece on the stock should be raised also. It is crazy in this day and age that all rifle manufacturers don't offer adjustable combs and length of pull on their stocks - especially where women are concerned as they generally have longer necks and a smaller frame.
Have the 6x24x50 Diamondback Tactical on my .300 Win Mag. I used the Burris Optics XTR Signature rings. I also used the Wheeler scope system to level and align everything and torque properly.

Great video and thank you. I am new to all of this and training to figure out what I need.
I am just getting into optics. Very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you! I did not know that the scope height would be needed in the ballistic solution. Very helpful video.
Appreciate this guys! Thanks for the help.
