What rings are y'all running on your Rem 700 with one piece bases?

[lglidewell]

I'm needing a set a rings for my Rem 700 AAC-SD 308 16.5". It's got a Badger Ordinance base on it. My question is, what height rings are y'all running on it? I had some TPS rings I really like, but don't remember what height they were.

AND if anyone has decent 1" rings laying around, I'd be interested in a set.

I think with 30mm on my 20 moa base I am running vortex precision mathed rings in medium. But I thing I could run lows.

I run the TPS low rings on my rem 700 aac. I bought the mediums first and they were to tall

I have your exact gun with. 20moa Larue rail and medium TPS rings and Zeiss 50mm obj scope. I never measured but I think I could have got by with lows. If I recall the prob on mine was the bell clearing the end of the rail, not barrel clearance

Edit
I found old cell pics of my rig where you can see ample clearance

[hoythitman]

What size lens? I have a 42mm O lense and I have Weaver tactical rings, high mount. Good clearance have about 1/4" between barrel and scope.

Had TPS AND Nightforce. Like both, but the TPS rings are lighter

Thank you for the info everyone! Looks like low rings is what I need.

I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning towards putting a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44 ZR800 reticle on it. It's either that or a Nikon Monarch 3-12x42 BDC. Which ever of them I don't use, the other scope will go on a 8.5" 300 Blackout SBR.

I don't have that gun, but I use GameReapers on my rifles.

Have them on 4 rifles with 50mm scopes.

I just put a new base and rings on my wife's 700. I'm not familiar with Badger bases, but I went with TPS base and rings, and the TPS appears to be an exact replica of the NF rail on my rifle, like could have been cut on the same machine identical as far as I can tell. Maybe Badger is similar?

I went with the low 1" TPS rings for her scope (Cabelas badged Meopta Meopro) which has, I believe a 42mm objective. Plenty of barrel clearance, but the objective bell gets awful close to the front edge of the rail. As I recall, with that setup, I did the math and the scope bell never drops below the top of the action, or maybe just a tiny bit. The height of the base plus the height of the rings was about equal to the distance from center line of scope to bottom edge of bell.

I'm running a 20moa Leupold Mark 4 base with Medium Mark 4 rings with a Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50mm. Even with scope caps I clear the top of my barrel by about 1/16th of an inch.

I run badger or nightforce rings on all my rifles. With 20 Moa bases I use the low rings even with a 56 mm objective.
