Medium mounts. You will want the scope as close to the stock as you can get. So you can get a perfect check weld to the stock for maximum accuracy

I like to use quick release Leupold or Warne rings. To use either at same time there are good rings that give you a sight picture of both but I don't like how high it makes the scope. Check with friends or friendly gun store where you can look at options and pick what you like best. I keep in mind that it is still a 22 and limit my use to under 100 yds for a fun gun that is cheap to shoot. I hope you enjoy your shooting either way.

I used high rings because the .920 barrel on my PC was not much lower than the top of the receiver. On another rifle with a sporter barrel I would probably have used mediums because I like the scope to hug the barrel as much as possible. Hope I helped.

Didn't use mount. Used Weaver rings I already had. I think the original was 11mm. This scope did not hold up mounted on a magnum springer air rifle.

Should not have any problems, I have put a Remington 700 with tall mounted scope and Ruger 10/22 mag custom w/scope and had room to spare.

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.

I never found a scope mount to fit either. I received and returned four different ones. After I got a Remington 700 with Leopold scope, I haven't worried so much.

Not sure whether it would mess it up or not but I have mounted Bushnell scopes on 12 ga. Rem 870 without any problems. You might check out the Leupold and Nikon Shotgun scopes with BDC. I have the Leupold on a bolt action Savage 20 ga and it is very accurate. They are in the same price range of this scope.

Tommie J. You will get the scope, standard lens covers with elastic bands and a manual. Depending on how you use the rifle, I would recommend replacing the lens covers with flip up lens covers. Butler Creek has a nice pair that works great on them. I now have 3 of the 3-9 x 50 Prostaffs. Great price for a quality product!

Its got nothing to do with the rifle but the scope you have mounted. I would advise the large cover for anything from 3-9x40 upto 4-16x40. Would not recommend for 30mm scopes. But overall its a good quality product.

The rings are not mounted out of the box...you have to install. This red dot is more of a ready to use for AR style weapons. If your rifle has a low. standard height rifle front sight, it's not for you. Look at a Sightmark Ultra Shot QD Reflex Sight. It comes with a quick mount and a lifetime warranty. If your set on a tube style red dot, look at Vortex. The Vortex has GREAT optics for the money, not so much for the Bushnell. OH yeah, I forgot to tell you...the Vortex comes with a 2X adapter...no need to co-witness.

I had a Meopta 3 x 9 x 42 and Medium worked very well. Low might work but you would likely not be able to get any scope covers on. Get the medium. Dan

Glenn: Since this mount is for a 30mm tube, I divided it in half = 15mm. I measured from bottom of yoke to flat top or mount on rifle and got 23mm. Add 23mm to 15mm = 38mm and then double that = 76mm. Now, I have a 4 to 15 x 40mm scope but my scope's outside diameter measures 55mm. The outside measurement on your scope could be 76mm or greater. Be sure and check it. Dr. D

have a look at there size chart,they have measurements in imperial and metric.measure both ends of your scope.

The rings I have are about 3/16" above the rail. Meaning that they are obscenely low if you are wanting something tight to the barrel. If you have a scope with larger lenses you may want to go with a midrange height mount.

I think that it depends on the type of scope, if it's a 40mm scope than you could use medium. If it's a 50mm scope then you may have to use the high so the scope doesn't hit the barrel. I ordered both & sent the set back I didn't want. You could still use a high profile where a medium would work, but I wanted the scope as parallelTo the barrel as possible so the really close shots wouldn't be as low from zero point of scope.

Those should fit. I used the mounts for a Remington 700 22 mag. Narrow rifle and they fit fine.
