Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - what distance to clear front sight ? Arms medium or high rings ?
Posted: 12/19/2005 6:03:14 AM EDT
This has probably been asked before, but here goes.  For mounting a scope on a flat top, will the medium height rings allow a scope to clear a standard front sight or do I need the high rings ?

 What magnification optic?
 Anything over 3X will "look past" the FSB. You will just get a little shadow in the lower part of the reticle.
 Med rings will probably give most people a problem with cheek weld, can't get your head low enough the see a clear reticle picture. High will be more comfortable and align the optic with your eye better. IMHO
