Thanks for the pics, Muleshoe. That helps!

Do you know if the Leupold ringmounts in "low" will clear a 42 mm objective, or will I have to go "medium"?

What about sizing Millets for a 42 mm obj?

It's weird but optics planet doesn't seem to have low rings in matte.

Thanks as well for the link, Carbon.

edit.. Leupold doesn't make 1" rings in low matte. I also found out Leupold recommends medium bases: "42-45mm Riflescopes will almost always use MEDIUM rings in a given style. In certain instances, 45mm scopes may require HIGH rings."
