TX200 and Pro Sport ring height

[Trailryder42]

You folks that have either the TX200 or Pro Sport......I'm trying to determine what the proper height scope rings will need to be for a 50mm objective, 30mm tube. Confirm my thinking.....I'm looking at the Sportsmatch, High, Adjustable dovetail rings that I've found a reference saying, at their lowest height, is 19.5mm from base to bottom of the tube. Add 15mm for half the tube diameter. 19.5 + 15 = 34.5mm. 34.5mm - 25mm( half the objective) = 9.5mm clearance between the barrel and bell. Then consider the scope cap, should still clear by 5-6mm.

The FX No Limits seem to figure the same.

Are you folks mounting your scopes higher than that?

I've also read of some not recommending using adjustable height rings on a springer. I guess because of the possibility of them shifting.

I have a Hawke 6-24x56 on my ProSport and it is just right with Sportsmatch high rings. With a 50mm objective, you will still have to use high rings, medium would be too low. You should have good clearance.

Whatever you decide to go with, the closer that your Objective lens is to the barrel, the better. Keep it as close to the barrel as possible, without touching, of course. Adjustable mounts are great, if you are going out to 100 yards.
