6.5-20 50MM Leupold

[jbailey]

I'm mounting a 6.5-20 50MM Leupold with a 30MM tube on a Remington 700 Varmint using a picatinny rail and Burris tactical mounts. My question involves the ring height as I have to order these in. I want to mount as low as possible and I think the medium rings will clear. Can anyone help me out on this ?

I think you will not be able to get the front of the scope to clear. I just mounted a 50mm 1" scope on a Howa/Weatherby with a sporter barrel and the objective didn't clear. I used burris 2 piece tactical bases and Burris Signature med Zee rings. I had to put high rings on to get the scope to clear the barrel.

Problem is that different mfgs have a different idea of medium, high. I worked at the LGS. Found out thru experience.

Mine work fine with medium Burris, Leupold and Nightforce rings.

I ran Leupold LRT's on Rem. 700's with 1.250" bull barrels with standard Weaver rail with Leupold and Burris Signature Medium Rings with no issues.
