Question concerning scope height

[mikegideon]

I hijacked my own thread. Low rings are on the way...I"ll update when the scope sits low.

I think we all helped with the highjack. Low rings is GOOD

...let me know how that works out for you...

Mike, where are you getting those graphs? *hijack a thread, watch~~`

No kidding, the ballistic info is sweet.

BTW... I have a .270 sporter rifle. It's a sweet round. Necked down 30-06, so it's a little faster, and a little flatter.

Mike, I love these graphs. They make even my 25-32 Henry look totally ballistic

Now there's brass you don't pick up at the range!!!

I call it my pumpkin ball gun. I'd scope it, but I don't think anyone makes a 1x1x90. perhaps the only gun I own that I can fire, walk down range and catch the bullet with a wet towel.

I recommend everyone own at least one pumpkin ball gun. It makes the rest of them look so spectacular.

I've always found it real helpful when deciding how to zero a scope.

[Guest gcrookston]

oops, just double checked it. it's a 32-20. still a pumkin ball. my bad. sorry.

Just thought I'd post an update on my new rig. Got the low rings in the mail today and got them on. The Warne low rings fit perfectly and looks much better as well. The scope is sitting where it should be now. I've got just under 3/32" without the cover and just under 1/16"with the cover. Couldn't ask for better!
