| I have a RRA Predator Pursuit upper being shipped to me right now. I need some advice on what rings/mounts I can use to mount a Leupold 3-9x40. I would love to have a LaRue or GG&G quick detach base and ring unit but I cannot dish out the money for one of those at this time. I would really like to have something that is quick detach so I can swap the scope between the AR and my Rem 700. What height do I need for clearance on a 40mm objective? Can I go with Mediums (1/2") rings? I have seen some Warne quick detach rings but was unsure if those would work on a picatinny rail since they are made to go on a weaver base. |

I have a Nikon Monarch 5x20x44 on my Predator/Pursuit. I used hight Leupold Mk4 rings. With a Magpul PRS, I barely need to raise the cheekpiece to fit.
I think the Leupold rings will work well to swap to another rifle, assuming it also has a picatinny rail (so the spacing between rings is consistent) - as it just takes a 1/2" wrench or socket. Pre-Magpul picture: 
I found this rifle really likes the 75 gr Privi ammo:  ~1/2" at 100 yards

probably could have done medium. my advice is try medium, and order from SWFA - that way, if they are too low, it is just a shipping charge to return them for the next size up.
I just did that with burris rings for my millet dms for a fn/fal - low was too low, so needed medium. Returned no fuss |
