Title: Ring Height - Help Needed
Post by: Dansk on January 02, 2013, 11:11:16 AM: Hoping someone has some advice on scope mount size for my latest project...

I've got a Wby vanguard S2 in .257 wby mag, and am going to mount my Leupold Vx-III 4.5-14 x40 using either Talley lightweight one peice or DNZ mounts. Leaning towards Talley's due to price and what seems to be a pretty big fan base on shooting forums.

Anyone have a similar set up using Talley or DNZ low's? Anyone use (or has found) extra-lows?

Maybe there is a shop in king/snoho/or skagit county that sells DNZ or Talley?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Mount height is strictly a personal preference so I'm not sure how much help I can be. I personally preffer very low mounted scopes (I hate building up the cheek weld to compensate) and I was very pleased with how low the DNZ low mount sat on my rifle. If your looking to go with the extra low I would definitely contact them first to see what the clearance would be.
