Low Rings and Low Housing Scopes
I have a couple of sets of low QD rings and am looking at additional barrels. In researching scope options, I ran across a recent item TheoR8 was kind enough to post with a Blaser recommendation on ring heights and objective diameters. I am attaching a copy of the Blaser info he posted. I was surprised to see that Blaser recommends high rings for Zeiss Duralyt and other low housing scopes, especially since I have been warehousing a Duralyt DL 3-12x50 that I was planning to use. I have a similar Zeiss DL 3-12x50 on another barrel, and it seems to have decent clearance with low rings. I also have a Leica ERi 2.5-10x42 on a barrel and have noticed for the first time that it is extremely snug...much more so than the Zeiss. Anyway, what If any issues are there with using low rings and similar Zeiss or Leica low housing scopes?

Re: Low Rings and Low Housing Scopes
I cannot say for sure but I do not believe that is correct. If a DL fits in low rings so will the older Duralyt, presuming of course they are the same model.
