[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help regarding scope mounts

Posted: 8/19/2006 11:59:11 AM EDT

I have a Barrett M99 and a Tasco Super Sniper Scope 16X. I what to purchase some Badger Ordnance Picatinny-Style 30mm Max-50 mounts.

What size do I need? (standard height, High, ultra high)

Thanks

The rails are set pretty low on the Barretts. You will need the extra high. Or the Barrett height adjustable rings.
The military was using the Leupold extra high rings on the M107's. They are good rings also.

I just mounted my Nightforce on my M99. The scope has a 56 mm objective, and I got the Badger Max50 "Ultra High." These rings are 1.450" high. The scope clears the rail easily, but I would not choose a shorter ring unless you had a very low profile scope (which is doubtful on a 50).

So definitely the Ultra High ..

I had to get the "ultra high" Badger rings for the scope to clear the rail on my M82A1.

Using the same scope as you SS16x
