30mm Scope on a Mini-14
I bought a Burris TAC30 scope to put on my Ruger Mini-14 Tactical and am about to send my rings in to ruger to exchange for 30mm rings. Does anybody know what height rings I need? I was thinking it'd have to be the high but was wondering if I could get away with the medium rings?

How big is the bell? Also I hope your scope will be able to take a beating on top of the reciever. 0 -
That Burris TAC-30 will be able to withstand ANYTHING the Mini-14 can dish out. I would not say that about a TASCO, Bushnell, or Simmon's.
#4's should work(they are high's), but I would go with #5's(extra High), just to be sure, and incase you want something bigger...then you don't have to do it twice.

If he goes with the extra highs, won't he have a problem maintaining a solid cheek weld on the stock? 0 -

He could have that problem, but he will not have the flexibility. These are not built like bolt action rifles, where you have a bit of room to play with either. You should not have a problem maintaining your cheek weld, once it is established, as recoil is minimal.

They only make one version of the TAC-30, and it is a 1-4x24. Uing the rings for the lowest possible posistion on that, would not allow ANY wiggle room for scopes with a bigger front bell.0 -
got to know scope bell size 32.42.52,62mm 0 -
question could be answered without too much guess work with exact model of tac30 scope and/or size of of bells 0 -
It's a straight 30mm tube, no bell. 0 -
All this posturing and flexing is useless to the topic and Ask the Experts. Stop it now.
