***These recommendations should be used as a guide and may not fit all applications (Based on 50mm Objective lens contacting barrel/AR forends). There are several easy to find ring height calculators available online. ***
Rem 700 footprints = low rings (0.92") (up to 40 MOA scope rail)
Ruger RPR = medium rings (1.26")
Ruger American = low rings (0.92")
Savage 110 = low rings (0.92")
Tikka = low rings (0.92")
Sako = low rings (0.92")
AR Platform = ARP Rigid Mount (1.50")
med rings (1.26")
For the new EP5 with the 56mm objective the following are our recommendations:
Rem 700 and clones = medium rings (1.26") with bull barrels and 20 MOA rails
This will be the case for most platforms out there with the exception of anything with AR style shrouds. Then you will need to use a scope rings height calculator.

Ep5 going on 6.5prc Ruger American Go Wild. I am placing it in a KRG Bravo stock. What ring height low or medium
I just purchased a Bergara Premier Competition 6.5, and plan on surpressing it. I'm assuming 20MOA medium rings are the correct ones, but I would like some professional input.
I received my Arden 5x25 the week before last. The rigid mount that i paid for and ordered was not in the package. I went to the website and sent two emails about a week apart and no answer. I found a phone number but there is a recording saying to go to the website and email them. Arden seems to be unreachable. Do anyone have any means of communicating with this company? What if there are warranty issues. What do we do? I just want my rigid scope mount.

Savage 110 Elite Precision 6.5 creedmore 26" heavy barrel with 20moa base, what size rings? Looking for long range setup.
I have a Browning A Bolt with a 20 moa from EWG, doing the math th gp between the scope and barrel, and asuming low rings: 17mm (from 34mm tube) + 23.368 mm (from rings) - 28 (from scope radius) = 12.368 mm or a little more than 1 cm (plus the high of the 20 moa. however the problem is that since the slope of the 20 moa base I don't now if the sunshade will fit,(maybe to go on the safe side should use medium rings) I would appreciate your comments.
my savage 10 uses a Med. high ring.
I have ordered a Radian Model 1 ar15. Can you tell me what height rings I need for the EP 5 5x25x56?

Savage 110 long action 300 win mag 20 moa base. What ring height do I need?
Hello all,
I saw in the beginning of this thread, the recommendation for the Remington 700 is low rings. I wanted to double check if this also apply to the 700 SPS Tactical .308 where that has a heavier barrel? I am getting ready to purchase my second SH4 6-24X50 GEN2 for this rifle and want to get the correct rings. The first SH4 I purchased was for my Browning XBolt. I used Brownings rings. They had me purchase the "high" rings. I am including a picture of that because I think it is mounted too high? I do not want to purchase the wrong size for the Remington. TIA.
What ring height would you recommend for the new EP5 on an M1A with a Sadlak mount on one of the newer variants with the factory Archangel stock and cheek riser? How about an original M1A with a wood stock (no riser)?
I understand They are Known for outstanding Customer Service! 😃
The Rigid Precision mount was specifically made for the AR type platform. It will make the scope ride where your iron sight line would be.
Bought the EP 4 6X24 and Medium Rings for my AR, But cannot get the bottom of the Bikini caps under scope in front. Should i go High or to the Ridgid mount. Could I swap Meds for Highs or Ridgid?
Going to order the EP5 and mount it on my Remington 700 in an oryx chassis with a bartlein heavy barrel and the top rail has a 20 MOA cant. Which Rings should I go with? The low or the medium height?

i have a tikka t3x light veil and i bought a SH4 6-24X50 GEN2 but i picked the rigid precision mount and when i installed it on my 0 MOA picatinny rail the scope sits too high and with no adjustable stock I'm doomed so what height rings should i order ?
Hello, I Have an axis precision in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20 MOA rail. I would like to purchase the EP5 5-25X56. What size rings should I go with? Happy holidays all and thanks in advance for your assistance!
With the Howa and a 20MOA rail, yes, the lows will work perfectly fine.
howa oryx w/20 moa rail mounting a SH4 Gen II will lows be ok or do i need mediums
Thanks!!!
Yes, the lows will work perfectly!
Howa 1500 mounting a SH4 Gen II… ordered med. 1.26 rings…will the lower .92 rings work and be better choice? Using Leupold 0 picatinny.
Hello,
can you tell me what size rings for the SH4 6-24 on a Bergara B-14 HMR, 20 moa base, 0.760 barrel? As close to the barrel as practical. Thanks!
Just bought a Tikka t3 TAC. Planning on adding a 20 MOA rail. It has a pic rail that extends past the scope base. Would the medium rings be better than the low rings?
Thank you sir.
I have a savage axis precision in .223. I have a arken sh4 4-16x50 g2 coming to me soon and need rings for it, but how tall of rings do i need. Any help would be great. Thank you.
Bought Leupold Medium PRW, on a 20 minute rail. Worked perfectly. I have about 3/16” space between objective bell and barrel. My eye lines up perfectly. Thanks for the help!
Well, the Leupold rings and the Halos don’t match up height for height exactly. Hopefully it will work out for ya!
As long as the heights are the same. The Halo lows are .92” tall, so they will work with the 50mm objective and the 20MOA rail. Lower rings or bigger objectives will more than likely cause issues. It all comes down to the details.
I have purchased an SH4 6-24X50 Arken scope, to put on a Weatherby Vanguard 300 Win Mag. I have a 20 min rail on this rifle. What is the recommended ring height for minimal, reasonable gap between objective and barrel?
thank you
E Phillips
On my Savage model 10 with a 20moa base in an Oryx Chassis I I had to use medium rings. The low rings caused the scope turret housing to hit the rail. I could get it to clear but it was less than a business card thickness clearance and close to a sheet of paper thickness. IMO with recoil and flex that was going to cause a potential problem. The other issue is the bell clearing when trying to adjust the scope for proper eye relief. With the proper cheek rest and getting an accurate height over bore measurement you will be fine. Hope this helps.
Mark, from the Mark and Sam after work youtube channel (they do ELR shooting in Australia (i think)) likes his optics quite high. He has several videos about the reasons and mechanics of it too. I found the higher rings worked better for me too.
Generally, it's pretty simple: use low Arken Halo rings for your traditional rifle setup, use medium Halo rings for a rifle with an enclosed handguard or AR-type rifle. The Rigid Precision mount is ideal for the AR platform and it's a little higher than the medium Halo rings and the high Halo rings are just up there higher for those that like a higher eye position possibly more for an AR rig and wanting a high vision plane.
To check it very close if you do good measurements you can use this Scope Ring Height Calculator to get it within 1/8" or less. http://www.mil-rad.com/scope_ring_calculator
