Have a build that is finished. Steel gun/Comp Rifle. Head is spinning over rings and rails. Prices are simply stupid for "Matched Tactical Rings". And the specs are not always listed. Although the chassis has an adjustable cheek piece, I really hate scopes mounted with an inch of Obj above the barrel.
Seems most 34mm rings I've researched start at 1.00" high. And the thickness of the rails are generally not listed. Really looking for the lowest mounting set up possible. Any suggestions?
Prefer a 20 MOA rail. Remington 700 SA build.
Please God, give me some good tags this year....

I’m in the same boat. Just mounted my 8.5x25 on my smith enterprise rings......not so sure on the height.. It could go 1/2” lower in my opinion, but SE don’t make shorter rings. Base is a EGW 20 moa Not sure which way to go. ![[Linked Image]](https://s33.postimg.cc/wr9z37m0f/5_ED9_D4_D5-7_A75-4_E85-_BBE3-5_CB40_CE361_EC.jpg)

https://www.brownells.com/optics-mo.../34mm-mountain-tech-rings-prod97243.aspxGo with lows..... Here is mine in NF mediums.....only pic I could find on my phone. However since your in a chassis I wouldn’t worry too much about getting as low as possible. I believe mine is just under 1/3” gap but tough to see that in the pic. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/UvYL5az.jpg)

Seekins (or Vortex branded which are made by Seekins) 34mm lows are great also.

^^^^ Beauty. Pretty much what I am striving for.
Is there a vast difference in thickness in rails? Im doing a 20 MOA for certain. But steel? Aluminum? Can believe all these (most) spendy rings are Aluminum.

Here's one of mine. TT 315P in low ARC rings on a Seekins 20 MOA base. I tried the ARC extra low's but it was a no-go. The bottom of the turret bell contacted the rail. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1071.photobucket.com/albums/u504/OLI62/IMG_4632_zpslvflamie.jpg)
