Re: Vortex viper - what height mounts?

Seems to me that if it's a 30mm tube and a 50mm objective that you'd need something just a bit over 20mm.

Any manufacturer website should be able to provide specific measurements as to the height of their rings versus just a description of low, medium, or high.

I have three firearms in my "nightstand", so it's really whichever one my hand hits first.

For this exercise let's just say I grabbed the S&W Model 36. Once out of bed and feet are on the floor, three steps from the bed is an 870 riot gun with 00 buck.

If you're shooting west your bullet will travel with an increased velocity. The closer to a pole you get, you'll start shooting low.

Conversely, if you're shooting east, your bullet will lose velocity more quickly, and the closer to a pole you are the higher you'll shoot.
