Sounds like you have a scope mounted. Rings on the reciever? Look at ARMS Swan sleve or gg&g scout rail. These mount and become the top of your reciever, extended. [Med.] rings then go anywhere on the longer rail. One piece mounts also exist if you know exactly what dimension you need, this is even better. |

The cheapest way would be to get a rail extension from YHM. It'll extend the rail by either 5 or 7 inches, depending on which one you get. It is also a half inch higher than the receiver rails, so keep that in mind when you shop for rings.

I needed an ARMS #36 S-EX rail (that's Super-EXxtended, get your mind out of the gutter). The receiver is just too short for me.

I just ordered a GG&G GS-1 rail which extens forward 3 inches and is 1/2 inch tall. I'm hoping to get it on Monday from the UPS man. I measured things out and 3 inches was just perfect for me. I was also looking at the YHM rail but the GG&G looks like it will be perfect. I can't wait to find out.

These are all great ideas. Thanks bros. I mainly wanted to know that I wasn't smokin' crack not being able to get the damn thing right.

So to match up rings to an elevated base, should I calculate based on standard 1.4 inch above rail sighting plane of an AR:
Rail Height usually half inch plus half the diameter of scope. Minus 1.4 inches equals needed height of ring? |
