Ring mount size
Hi All
Just wondering where I'd find info on ring mount size.
Looking at mounting a Meopt R2 (2-12x50 or a 2.6-15x56) on a semi weight barrel but unsure what size ring mounts I'll need.
Any help is appreciated. Cheers
Reece

Re: Ring mount size
For 50mm I believe the low mount will be just fine, but for 56mm I guess you'd need high rings.

Yeah that was my thoughts.
Reece, europtic have just announced a Meopta 40% off sale.

Re: Ring mount size
I have mounted a 56mm Scope on a R8 with low rings. It doesn't clear by much, but it clears.

Thanks gents.
40% off Meopta has my attention!
Looks like low may work depending on how far back the scope is situation and if it clears the taper on the barrel.

Re: Ring mount size
I have 56mm Victory HT in a genuine Blaser mount with low rings on a K95 and it clears fine.
Only a theory, but I doubt if Blaser, a German manufacturer, would supply a mount that wouldn't allow mounting of a 56 on their standard barrels, probably even a semi weight, but not sure about that.

Re: Ring mount size
Me too, but not on a semiweight barrel.
