FX Maverick - recommended scope ring height for 56mm objective

[airforcef35]

I have a FX Maverick on pre-order and will be mounting a scope with a 35mm tube and 56mm objective. I am undecided on which ring height of two 35mm Leupold Mark 4 ringmounts I will purchase - the medium or high height models (use the images provided for reference). Will the medium be just fine or would the high mount be necessary? - please share your opinions/thoughts. Thanks.

high height ringmounts...

I think you can probably get by with the medium rings, although I can’t say for sure.

Here’s a picture of my son’s Maverick with Eagle Vision mounts and a scope with a 56mm objective so you can take a look for yourself.

Have a good one.

Oh, that photo helps tremendously - thank you! Without being able to try both mounts, I think the high rings would be a safer bet. According to measurements of the Leupold mounts the high mount would be just over a quarter inch (0.35") less in height than the Eagle Vision mounts shown, so I feel fairly certain that would work. They are a fair challenge to actually find in a store to try out - especially finding just one of them when considering they are 35mm tube size.
