RE: Scope ring height for 700 50mm scope
the leupold high rings will work well. i have a 44mm scope on my 700 adl with those high mounts and theres still 1/4' of space in between the barrel and scope and the difference between 44mm and 50mm is no where near 1/4". the 50mm should be around 1/8 inch off the barrel and i like my scopes to be as close as possible usually with out interfearence of course.
