picked up one of these to give a try mounted it with meduim rings i can see the barrel at the bottom of the crosshair when looking thru the scope? im using meduim height rings wonder if i should go with high rings instead. always used open sights so this is a first for me. ive mounted tons of scopes but never a 1x so dont know if thats why. i put it on my vortek ldr vapr traditions. any one run into this.

I'm guessing that is just a function of the massive field of view due to zero magnification, I doubt ring height would measurably affect it. I would mount to whatever height makes for comfortable scope acquisition and call it a day :dunno:
-
Same with my 1X wouldn’t worry about it unless it distracts you too much.
-
For my knight I used lowest bases and leupold extra low rings and yes I can see the barrel clear as day but it shoots great
-
Yeah you can see the fiber optic front sight on mine, I just taped the front sight to avoid distraction from the center of the crosshairs.
-
If there is a front sight up there I think I would remove it. I know a someone who missed a bull out of state because of this. In the moment he put the front sight on the bull while looking through the scope and missed!
-
I could see my front sight in mine as well, so I removed it and it is much less distracting.
-
I'm thinking about getting one of these for my Knight DE. Are there any bolt clearance issues? If so does ring height affect this?
-
You'll see the front sight no matter what ring height.
-
Thanks, but my question is are there any bolt throw issues on the knight rifles and say low mount rings?
-
That will depend on what bases and rings you use. I have Leupold QR bases and rings on my Knight disc extreme. I have a pentax 1X scope mounted in low rings. I also have a Vortex 1X that I bought and I put it into medium rings. The ocular end on the vortex is bigger than the Pentax. The bolt handle is pretty close. I don't know what kind of bases and rings you're using so it might be some trial and error.
-
Thanks for the info on the rings and bases. I'm leaning toward Warne steel base and Warne Med QD rings.

I have one on my disc extreme and it’s a shooter , I used leupold low rings and it’s plenty of clearance and easy to put a 209 in it
