Scope Mounting Questions

[rugerbh103]

The rings for my Ultra Lite came in today. Warne low rings. I mounted an old Leupold VX-III 3-9X40 I pulled off another rifle. I'm not in love with the target turret look, or how high it is sitting off the barrel but it will work. While bore sighting, I seem to be almost bottomed out on elevation. I don't know who made the scope mount, it came on the rifle. Looking at it, it looks taller on the rear end. Is this normal. I'm waiting for a new breechplug to come from SSK. Hopefully it works out on the range, we'll see. Thanks as always for any help.

It looks like a 20 degree rail.As far as scope height you’ll have to find lower rail or use a two piece base.Most if not all rails with slope built in will be higher.

I am totally guessing from here - but the rings really look medium rings not low. And the base appears to be a 20mm base as suggested.

They're new, Warne low rings. Looked high to me to. I'll shoot it first and see where I am.

The rail looks like it's an EGW to me.

Warnes Horizontal lows for 1" tubes are .25" from top of the rail to the bottom of the tube. Medium are .375"

You could always lose the rail, and just buy warne 2pc steel bases. They are pretty thin, probably give you the look you want.

I'll measure them. It may come to a different base if this doesn't work.
