scope mount question

[59cummins]

I am working on gathering parts for a custom build on my Remington 700 300 win mag so far I have a Brux barrel and the jewl trigger and I want to go with a nightforce ultra light 20moa direct mount scope mount but I don't know what hight will work with a nightforce nsx scope they have them in 3 different heights and I'm unsure what would work?

It would help if we knew the objective diameter of the NXS you were going to use, NXS scopes come with 24, 32, 42, 50 and 56 mm objectives. Also these scope mounts attach to a standard 1913 rail and imho are better suited for an AR platform than a bolt gun.

The scope will be the nsx 8-32x56 and the mount I want is the one that bolds directly to the Remington 700 they have it in .885" 1" or 1.125" I'm sorry I dident include all needed information.

The .885 will work with a 56mm objective, although it might be a little tight if you want to use a lens cap. I also recommend bedding this mount. What's the barrel contour, it also comes into play.

Its a Brux heavy sporter barrel.

I like my scopes as low as possible, 885 or 1 will work.
