What size rings to get for new scope ?
« on: March 31, 2022, 04:03:14 PM »
Just got a Leupold VX5HD 4x20x52 CDS  size 34mm and putting it on my Sako A7 .300 win mag and trying to figure out what height of rings to get for it  without buying several sets . Hoping some of you guys could help
Thanks Jake

Way to many variables.....what type rail and what is the height of the rail?  What contour is the barrel?  How long is the main tube of the scope and how back is it going to sit? 

I have sat 56mm scopes on low rings before.  If I had to take a guess I would think mediums would work but again way to many variables to say unless you have specifics. 

This is why I own three low, med, and high rings that sit in my safe all the time.  If I use a set, I replace it and wait till I buy the next rifle.   :chuckle: :chuckle:

Leupol.com has a ring selector app on their website. Plus in your set up and it'll tell you what rings to get.

I have had good luck with Leopoldo rings, but all my Sakos use Sako rings. Have never had a problem with either.

I have had great success with Leupold and Millett turn in style rings. Seems to me the Millett rings are as good of quality but without the Leupold price.
