Scope ring height.

If someone has a similar setup can they please tell me what height Leupold QRW 30mm rings I will need on a Barnard action with 25MOA rail and 1.25" parallel barrel. Scope objective diameter 56 to 60 mm depending on what I finally decide on. If not QRW's then other rings that you may have.
Thanks
Steve

Depends upon the height of your scope rail. ( above the top of the receiver )
As a general rule medium height rings should be OK. If in doubt get the high Ring.

Provided you have the genuine Barnard rail, I have that setup in front of me now with a 1.25 straight barrel. Using Leupold QRW high rings Part No 49865 the Nightforce 12 - 42 BR objective bell has about 1/4 inch clearance.

Thanks Bob,
That is exactly what I was looking for.
