Scope Height
« on: January 17, 2004, 06:07:38 AM »
I have just put the Beeman 5030H mounts on my 97 and was wondering how high the center of the scope is to the barrel now.  The scope is a Simmons 44Mag 6.5-20x44.  Alot of these pellet ballistic programs ask for that and I have no idea.  In the future is there a formula for figuring this out?  thanks

Jim

Scope height is the distance from the center line of the scope's tube to the center line of the chamber or barrel.   Usually 1 1/2" would cover most applications.   If you installed high mounts you might have a 2" scope height.   Just for S&G's plug in the inch+half, run the program, insert the 2" in the program and see just what the difference is.

MEASURE it.  Buy a $20.00 dial caliper if you don't all ready have one.  Cock the 97 and measure from approximately the center of the bore(barrel) to approx the center of the scope tube.  You can also measure from the center of the bore to the top of the receiver PLUS measure top of the receiver to center of scope if those are easier measurements to take.   THAT'S the figure you use and it DOES vary from gun to gun.  Also remember than ALL 97s with have the same number  using 5030H mounts and 1 inch tubes.  

Another hint, it's 1.8 inches!

Hi,

I measured it with a ruler and it looked like about 2 inches, so thats what I entered into the program.  You say its 1.8?  ok I'll try that  :]  I tried putting the barrel against the wall and looking thru the scope and putting a pencil mark but the scope dosen't focus at 2 feet.   lol!!!   so a yardstick was used and rounded off at 2 inches.  thanks for your input
  :-)
