Well, I attached my Burris XTR tactical scope with Burris 30mm high tactical rings on my Farrell base last night to see how it would look on my MLII. Just as I feared, it's way too high; I'm going to have to get lower rings.  I was thinking about just getting some standard height Farrell rings to go with my base but have never seen any information about the Farrell rings on here. The mount is very popular but the rings never get mentioned that I'm aware of. Anyone, here, have the Farrell rings and, if so, how do you like them ? |

Sag- maybe the price!  I almost pulled the trigger on the rings. They looked nice and I'm sure they are of highest quality. I think Rossman highly recommended them but not for sure. My rings came today ,warne regulars med. I hope there not too tall for my 50 mm.If these Warne rings don't fit I might just look at them again! Sag-can I have your credit card numbers? |

Rex, you too ?  My girlfriend already has my charge card numbers and ordering crap on eBay.  I could have bought a Bad Bull with all the money I wasted on her last year.  No doubt, you're right about the price holding the Farrell rings back ! But they're a bargain compared to Near and Badger, imo. You were smart to get Warne as they're probably the best buy out there. If I were intelligent, I would order Warne rings too. ;D |

Sag-How too high were your rings? Close to an inch from the barrel to the bottom of the 50mm objective. Way too high ! |

The Farrell rings are top notch but expensive. With my Farrell mount I went with the lowest rings I could find locally which were Weaver Grand Slam mediums for a 1" tube, they are actually lower then most low rings (.164"). I still have over 3/8" clearance with a 40mm objective.
TPS was making a super low ring but I haven't seen what the exact measurement on them are.
Another thing you have to watch is the cross slot width of the mount. If it is like .206" you need to use a picatinny style ring (weaver style mounts are like .140-.150"). Early Farrell mounts were like .180", kind of a bastard in between size but fit the crossbolt on the Farrell rings.

Heck, I'm going to order the Farrell rings on Monday. You talked me into it, Rex. ;D Might as well get the best fit possible. They will still be a little high but not near as bad as my high Burris rings. |

Let me know what is the lowest ring they make. I might join you!Harley pm-ed me about a kick-ezee cheek piece that should help with the taller mount.

I'm going with the standard rings, no other choice. I might have to check out that kick-ezee cheek pad too if the Farrell rings prove to be too high. Thanks to you and Harley for the information.  Here's a quote from the Farrell site on their standard rings. "STANDARD MOUNT (Set consist of 2 rings) Completely CNC machined from solid stock. These rings are machined in pairs and are serial numbered as machined and are absolutely matched to within our standard tolerances of .005" of center line of our base. . These same rings can also be supplied with a matched base which both has been inspected to be within 1/2 of our standard tolerances and then serial numbered accordingly. In most cases our standard rings will clear a 50mm objective bell". |

Sag- I think the Warne lows are .250 and the Farrels reg are .244 I will see if I can find a few more low ones. With the Farrel reg. it would put me at .280 bell clearance. I would like it to be .050-.080.

The Near stainless rings come in a low size and would contrast nicely with the matte finish of the Farrell base, imo. But, when I went to their site to check the price and found out they cost $278.00 I say forget them. |

I couldn't find any TPS rings and the Weaver Grand slams lows only seem to be in 1" tubes.
