Hi All
I have just ordered a set of leupold QR scope mounts for my remington 700 cdl in .243 with a t8 moderator, i intend to mount a S/B 8 x 56 scope and was wondering what height QR rings to order.
any advise please

regards Geoff

Hi,
S&B make an 8x65?
You will need the extra, extra high rings QR on special order takes 5 years and costs $4300.
Sorry just jesting.
Normally 8x56s need high rings.

I had a Nightforce in 56mm on my Sauer 202 and on QD mounts i got away with MEDIUM mounts (2mm) but i suppose it all depends on your rifles reciever height?
