Title: Scope ring height help
Post by: bankwalker on June 27, 2020, 11:17:21 PM: my new rifle came with a 20 moa rail and I'm trying to figure out what height rings I need to buy for a 44mm objective lense.
My new rifle is a Christensen arms with carbon barrel. And I know that might provide clearance issues I'm not familiar with.

I have the rifle waiting at the gun shop. My darn background check got delayed. And my scope wont be here for a week. I'd like to get rings in that time frame. And not have to wait to take measurements

Any help is appreciated.

You did see where his rifle is a CA with carbon barrel, right ??

Of course I did. 44mm is tiny and he will clear with no problems.

Although, I'd bet the Low's will work for you, I'd wait until your scope came in and take it to your gun store and verify Low's will work on your rifle before purchasing. Even though your paperwork has been delayed, they will still let you have access to your rifle at the store. Also, certain brands of Low rings are lower than others as well. :twocents:
