Scope rings? was created by Macs-impala-ss
Hello group i just got my scope in "millett" and was hoping you someone could help me with scope rings. Should i put tall or short rings on it? I have a 18 inch barrel on fulton armory 308. Thank you for any help you can give me.

that's going to depend on how large the objective is as well as what is a comfortable height for you. typically, folks try to keep the scope as low as possible, but i do not care for trying to twist my head down behind an overly low scope.

try this idea. bend an index card and set it in the grooves on the upper. mark the card in 1/4" or metric, whatever you like best.

get a good comfy cheek weld and take a look straight ahead at the card. the line you naturally center on should be in the ball park for where you want the centerline of your scope. i've tried it several times and come up the same, right around 1.5 inches for me, give or take.
