Saddlemount height

[maddog]

I'd greatly appreciate any guidance with this.

I'm considering a Henneberger saddle mount for a Zeiss 3-12 x56 with ZM rail and see that one version has a number of height options ranging from 9.5mm and up. I just need to confirm the minimum height to clear the Objective and am having no luck with direct queries to manufacturer or retailers.

This is to be mounted on a Sauer 505 with 17mm barrel.

Thanks in advance gents.

Sauer 404, zeiss V8 2.8-20x56 mounted on the innomount zeiss rail and has BH height of 8mm.

I may be wrong , but there is only one size to choose from for the zeiss rail for both Henneberger and Innomount. It would be across the board unless you are choosing rings then you can choose the different BH height.

Cheers for that mate.

Greetings,
Innomount, there are 3 sizes, with the following offset, BH=9 mm, BH=14 mm, BH=20 mm.
Hennerberger, have the same height offset as the original Blaser ones, 2 sizes, BH=9.5 mm and BH=14.5 mm.
Attached pictures with an extract from the catalog.
For the 56 mm Zeiss objective lens, the outer diameter is 62 mm, the 9-9.5 mm height mount is not enough. You need 14-14.5 mm or the 20 mm one.
All the best.

Thanks AxP,

This is precisely what I was after.

Cheers.
