Ring mount size

Post by Red853006a »

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

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.

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.

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.

Me too, but not on a semiweight barrel.
