I am new to scopes. Can someone please tell me the the difference in low, medium and high scope rings. Thank you.

You want a scope to set as close to the barrel as possible. So depending on the front objective on the scope you are using, that will determine which rings you need. Up to 32mm objective =low, 32mm-44mm=medium anything bigger= high or possibly extra high

Height of scope rings depends on bell or objective size of scope and bolt clearance when cycled. The larger the objective the possible higher the rings will need to be. If it is a controlled round feeding bolt chances are you wil need higher rings.

Scope doesn't come with rings. This is normal, too many variables such as hight, groove type on gun, and style. Probably need high rings but it depends on your gun

The mounting rings that come with this scope are 1" rings. That seems to be a fairly standard size.

I don't remember the brand I used but I went to Cabela's and bought 1" rings because Cabela's will mount the scope for free so it's a great way to make sure the scope is level. I also mounted it on the same rifle, it's a great scope man. If you look in the "like items" when you're looking at the scope it has different 1 inch rings that you can also look at or select to add it to your order.

Dan, I'm guessing that when you say ring size, you're talking about the field-of-view thru the scope. This scope has a VERY SHORT eye relief. I have both of mine mounted as far back on their receiver's as I can, and still need to place my head so that it's approx. 2" away from the tube.

UTG high 30mm rings or GGG high 30mm on my RRA Operator it barely cleared the barrel. Mediums would not have worked.

That was the same question I asked myself. So I bought both. The answer is yes the 3-9 X 40 scope provides a better image at low level light conditions. That is the scope I use on my gun.

I had the 50mm objective lens. So it wouldn't be the same. I went to my local hunting store and they had a chart. Might want to do that. Sorry I couldn't tell ya. But what I have found d out is, if you buy a scope that comes with covers, they are better quality than buyi g covers separately.

Very good but you have to use a small scope as the distance between the rings is very short and the rings are very narrow. I no longer use it.

I'm pretty sure that this scope did NOT come with any rings. That's probably because some types of rings work with some applications, whereas others don't. Personally, I needed a rather special set of rings to fit my application (a European rifle). For that reason, in my experience, scope makers rarely include rings or mounts -- mostly because they're items that are specific to a person's particular project. Hope this helps.

I mounted a 3x12x44 on these rings and have had No issues with either the rings or scope! Happy hunting!

I bought some UTG scope rings for it..BUT I wound up going with the 6-24x60..The new sniper style rifle,If you can split the difference of $120..00..It is WELL worth the money man!!!

Bought the high and medium sets for a 50mm objective scope on a ssg3000. Mediums were perfect for me. Not sure of rail height above barrel on rem 700 but you can calculate objective clearance by looking at specs and doing some measurements. Most likely mediums for 50mm objectives and high for 56mm. Hope it helps.

Any comparison ultimately comes down to you. It depends on what you want from a scope and how you are going to use it. Go to your nearest big box sporting goods store and see what you see. I hope that helps.

I recommend lower rings. The lowest if possible. I have a 50mm objective scope and it has about 10mm of space between the barrel and the bell. But yes, they should work.

Hi,I am not sure what the difference would be. I originally started out looking for the Buckmaster but it seems like it has been discontinued from what I could see and I looked at a few different vendors. I used this scope this year and it worked great so I don't have any complaints.

Saturn's rings are always a treat! Glad you saw them. A 2x barlow and 4mm eyepiece will give you 200x on this scope, which is about the theoretical maximum usable magnification for a 100mm aperture scope like this one (about 50x/25mm). But in my experience with these smaller scopes, the image is rather poor at maximum magnification; you can see something, but very dim and very grainy, for instance. For my eyes, the max usable magnification is closer to 40x/25mm..... I think it's fun to use the max magnification (esp. on the Moon!) But I usually get the most satisfactory viewing at a lower power. Enjoy your telescope! Saturn's rings are always a treat! Glad you saw them.
