I just bought a Burris Drop Tine 4.5x14 x 42mm AO and the Obj Bell looks "huge". Spec's claim it is 2.2" wide. I want to use Medium HT Leupold STD rings ( well, this one will be the Extended Front ring for a Mod 7) because I have them on all my rifles except a few. Specs also claim that Leopold's Med rings work for 42-(maybe 45mm) . But this baby looks huge as I said. My rifle is still at the smith's but wondering if this 2.2" Bell will work with Med rings? Help anyone?
2.2” = 55.8 mm. That’s a very large objective lens so will need ring height to fit a 56 mm objective. Doesn’t sound like the Leupold mediums (42 mm max) will do it.
