I have a Browning BAR ordered and I want to put a Leupold scope 3x9 -40mm on top. I'm using a Browning one piece base but I don't know whether I would need low, medium, or high rings. I want the scope to set as low as possible but I don't know if the low rings will give me enough clearance for the 40mm objective lens. Has anyone got an experience with this? I'm pressed for time and would like to have the base and rings purchased and ready by the time the BAR arrives. Thanks

  I checked the Leupold website and their ring and mount "calculator" it shows for a BAR thatlow rings will work for that application ( Part # 49897 Gloss) and they show a 1 piece mount in Gloss part # 49985.
  Hope that helps.

  If there's a rear sight you might have to knock that out and just tap in a dovetail filler block.

  Medium Rings will be just fine for the 40mm objective. I have a 42mm mounted in medium rings and have a smidgeon of space to spare, so you'll be fine with the 40mm.
