What Rings and Height to use?

I'm looking for infomation on what ring and what height to mount a 10-50x60 Sightron? The rifle has a Savage Varmint contour barrel with a 20 MOA 1 piece base on it. This scope will be swapped out once in a while with a Mil-Mil scope for plate shooting.

Thanks,
Don Dunlap
 
Don,

I've used the Weaver Extra High Picatinny 6-screw rings and they were just fine. I switched to Harrell's combo 2/1 screw setup and it's fine too. Both are about 1.3" from base to center of scope. Gives about 3/8" clearance on my full-bull barrel.

I prefer to mount my scopes as close to the barrel as possible so I usually tape a 1/8" spacer on the top of the barrel, rest the bell of the scope on the spacer and measure to the center of the scope and set the scope ring centers to that height.
 
Donnie,
My Sightron 8-32X56 sits in Leupold QRW MEDIUM Rings on a EGW 20MOA base with .130 clearance to a Savage Varmint contour barrel. Hope this helps
 
I have a Rem 700 SA Dasher, which has always worn Farrel base and high rings. I went from a Leupold 40X to a Sightron 10-60X and it needed about another 1/16th" to clear the barrel. I like the Farrel rings and base set up, so I just shimmed up both rings with a thin piece of plastic credit card (great way to get rid of em).
