    Hi Lads
    I was delighted on Tuesday, the substitute licence arrived in the door for the Savage .17 HMR :). Downhill form there. Got it home from the shop to find out the mounts I got with it don't have enough height to give scopes 50mm objective lens clearence off the barrell. There is weaver bases on the rifle so rang around and found a fella with as discribed on the box Hawke 30mm HIGH weaver mounts but they were worse than the first ones . The first ones were supposed to be medium.

    I have a target barrell so does this in some way effect mounting a scope ?

    Confused now.

    How much are you missing?

    I have my 50mm scopes mounted on Medium rings...

    Only missing about 2 mil . there is front focus on it so might that be effecting it?

    Yeah that's possible.
    I have a Simmons WTC, 50mm Adjustible objectice on my bull barrelled 10/22 in Medium rings.

    Looks like you just have bad luck!

    Maybe stick with the brand of rings you have and buy highs? That way you know they will be higher than the mediums.
