So my son bought a Howa 22-250 (not impressed so far) and it doesnt shoot well 2" groups with 3 kinds of ammo. He wants to switch scopes to make sure that the scope isn't the problem. I have an older vortex that is a 50mm scope I have never used. I bought it to put on my 17Rem AR but it is dialed in so good I never switched scopes. So what height rings will we need? I have never mounted a 50mm scope. Will mediums work?
ring height help
- Thread starter sigpros
- Start date
Depends on the barrel contour, with a standard profile mediums will usually work. Varmit or a carbon barrel may require highs. It also depends on the ring type, something mounted on a rail will sit a little higher than a one piece (something like Talleys)
