Are talking about rings for a scope? If so why does it matter, with a scope it wont co-witness.....An optic is not the same as a red dot....

I said ring, singular, in the topic and then rings, plural, in the body. My bad, sorry for the confusion. What I really meant was ring, singular. Use would be for a 30mm tubed red dot.
I am assuming the correct way to measure would be from the picatinny mating surface to the center line of the ring. |

For an absolute cowitness, you want a ring that measures 1.40" from the top of the picatinny rail to the center line of the scope ring/optic. |
