Scope ring height
« on: October 06, 2006, 08:05:54 AM »
I have just purchased a TC encore 209X50 SS with Laminate Thumbhole stock and have a question about mounting the scope.  The Encore has the iron sights that I do not want to remove.  I have ordered a Leupold Vari-x II 3X9X40 scope and the Leupold quick release base and rings.  What ring height will I need to clear the iron sights, Medium or high?

It depends on if you plan on using the sites with the scope on.  I used a mount from eabco with a peep site on it then used see thru rings for my prohunter ml.  Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.  You should be able to get by with med. rings as long as the scope doesn't hit the rear site.
