I just picked up a Simmons 8 Point 4-12 X 40 scope for my 10/22 project. I'd like to use Burris Sig. Zee rings. I'm just not sure which height rings to order.

Here's the setup:

Simmons 4-14 X 40 (outer diameter of the objective is 47mm)

PC scope base

Stock receiver with GM .920 diameter barrel

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I used high Zee rings with my Leupold 6.5-20x40mm not because I needed extra cleance but because the comb on my Fajen stock is so high I couldn't get proper head and eye alignment with mediums...I kept getting the dreaded shadows in the edges of scope until I went to high rings.

I also used the PC base that extends over the receiver onto the barrel so I could get proper eye relief with the VXIII Leupold. I'm able to slide the scope much further forward and still nestle the rifle snugly in my shoulder and shoot with my cheek solidly on the stock with my head upright looking straight ahead rather than through the top corner of my eye. My eyes don't even get tired with the rifle in this configuration :)
