With that scope and rifle you should be fine with .825-.87" height rings for a 42mm objective. I would go .87-885, or even up to .92" if yuou ever plan to replce that scope with a 50mm maybe, to make sure you have the height and with the adjustable cheek piece no issue with going a little higher. Sounds like you want a little more height anyways.

That's why I was giving actual measurements. Generic terms change from maker to maker.

I have room for a 50mm if I want it. |

only thing to also consider is if the catalog pic is correct it looks like an extended scope rail, so depending on the scope it may hit the bell on the rail.
I would almost wait till i had the scope and gun then decide what rings you will need. |

This is a great calculator to use.
As Rob said though .823-.900" should be fine. I like Badger, NF, ARC M10, Seekins, etc. depending on what the rifle is and who makes what I want. I have a 42mm Tango 6 that I plan on using 1.125" rings on with a Bravo chassis to try out. |
