now i know how high.

but the dilemma remains. my scope is wider then 30mm/1 inch

it looks like its 1 1/4 inch its 3 3/4 in circumference. im usually pretty slick with google but like the neutered dog humping the leg, im shooting blanks

nononsense

jasonc14,

Basic tube diameters are:

1" = 25.4mm

1.18" = 30mm

'Looks like' doesn't count when it comes to accurate measuring. Borrow a pair of calipers and measure.

According the the Nikon website, your scope is supposed to have a 30mm tube.

Best.

figured it out.

the rings i was trying to gauge them with werent 30mm and for some reason i thought they were.


thanks for the help
