calculate total height from receiver to scope center?

[raisins]

All,

Just got off the phone with Leupold tech support. This guy sucked (smart aleck) and I'm surprised their website contains such little technical information. Yeah, I'm about to drop a few hundred bucks on your products....I want to be able to tell if it will work prior to ordering.

So, let's say I put this

BackCountry Cross-Slot Base Tikka T3/T3x

Leupold® BackCountry cross-slot bases are made of 7075-T6 aluminum, making them some of our lightest and most rugged mounts yet. This BackCountry cross-slot base is designed to fit a Tikka T3/T3x and accepts both Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings.

on a rifle's receiver and then put these on it

BackCountry Cross-Slot 1" Medium Rings Matte

The Leupold® BackCountry series comes in cross-slot and ringmount styles that accept both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings. This cross-slot model is specifically designed to fit any riflescope with a 1" maintube.

What is the total height from the rifle's receiver top to middle of the scope?

The Leupold guy said the total height of the rail was 0.363 inches (he didn't know the height to the bottom of the slots).

If you just add them then it is 0.363" + 0.9" for 1.263" from receive to middle of scope rings.

But is that what the 0.9" means? does it mean the bottom of that ring to center of scope or does it include the little clamps?

You wouldn't know it from Leupold's website because they act like they are paying by the word.

Thanks - R

Get a micrometer from amazon and get a true measurement. Lot of you tube videos on how to measure

Most manufacturers list the ring measurement from top of rail to the center of scope

Top of rail to middle of ring.

I want to know what to expect before I order this stuff.

I don't have any of it in hand.

Thanks....Leupold should explicitly say that.

Again, for a famous company.....their website isn't so great.

Neither are their scopes.

What is the size (outside diameter) of the objective end of the scope you are mounting?

 

[raisins]

Neither are their scopes.

Was that supposed to be funny? Do you walk up to people that just bought a new truck and talk smack?

Just know that you come off bad here and that you aren’t funny…..true wit requires high intelligence….world would be a better place if people didn’t take their own issues out on others and if people that aren’t funny or cool wouldn’t try so hard

It wasn’t meant to be funny. They make terrible scopes. It’s discussed all the time here.

I think you’re reading to much into my comment given the personal swipes at my character/intelligence.

Also, any reason your wrote the comment, then deleted, then reposted a slightly different insult?

Edit: Also, if this is indeed for a Tikka, I’d look at the UM or SM rings. They use the integral rail so they save you mounting height, and they’re robust as heck.

I thought it was funny, but I’ll admit, I have a low IQ.

You have to ask why someone would write a harsher comment, think better of it, and then quickly edit it to tone it down?

Is that supposed to be a gotcha?

All that said, their scopes do suck.
