New Handi Owner, need help with scope ring height

[okies]

New Handi owner here, I just ordered a new Bushnell Banner scope for the Handi, I now need a set of rings. How tall rings should I get to make it easy and safe to thumb the hammer? Do I need High or maybe even see thru rings for this. Any help appreciated.

I used medium rings on my ultra 243 and I have the simmons 6.5x20x50 on my ultra.---Thank's.

How big is the end bell? (What Caliber?)  You don't want rings any higher than necessary.  If you have an open sight, you may want the see thru, otherwise get the lowest you can.

The interference point will be the hammer and power ring or ocular bell, even 50mm objectives aren't a problem. I use medium Burris Signature Zee rings almost exclusively, sometime highs are required, but their highs are equal to most mediums at .420" tall, medium Sig Zees are .270 tall. There are a couple alternatives too, see my low profile modifications link in the FAQ and Help sticky. And Welcome aboard!!!
