Scope mounting question
I want to get my scope as low as possible to the bore axis on my new Savage Axis. I am going to be using Weaver bases and probably Weaver Quad Lok rings. My scope of choice for this rifle is a KonusPro M-30 1.5-6x44mm. My question is, for you Axis owners or scope mounting experts, can I get by with medium height rings or will I need high. Weaver recommends high rings on their scope chart (saddle height .332"). I can go with Burris medium Weaver style rings with a saddle height of .270".
I'd really hate to buy high rings only to find out that I could have gotten by with mediums.
