Raifuru Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Just finishing off my Remmy actioned 6.5 x 47 and going to add a Sightron 10-50. It has a Ken Farrell 20MOA base that is about 12mm at the front. In theory, I should just get away with a medium Unimount but wondered if anyone has had any experience with that particular scenario.

Brillo Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 My 8-32x56 scope is mounted with TET medium rings, which are 25.0 mm from centre to bottom (the part that sits on the rail). The top of my Picatinney rail is 14 mm from base to top and the scope just clears the straight profile barrel by about 2 mm. According to the spec on the TET website the TET Unimount is 32.7 mm from centre to bottom so my scope would clear the barrel by a further 7.7 mm, a good 9 - 10 mm clearance. This implies that a 60 mm objective scope with a 30 mm tube fitted with a TET Unimount would clear the barrel by about 7 mm. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillo Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I forgot to mention, I previously had the scope fitted in a Accuracy International 18 moa, 30 mm Unimount and the clearance between object lens and barrel was substantial. I never measured this but it would easily have accommodated a 60 mm object lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW58 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I tried a medium TET Unimount with Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 on my TikkaT3/Tac21 abd it wasn't high enough, had to swap over to the high rings. TET Unimount/medium rings - way too low, barely clearing the rail and too low for a clear view through the scope. TET Unimount/high rings - really comfortable.

1967spud Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 But would some of that have been because of the extended front rail a normal action barrel im sure will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 While the scope barely cleared the extended front rail, it wasn't the real problem. The deciding factor was - even with the comb fully down I could hardly see through the scope properly with the medium-height mount - the high mount is spot-on.

Raifuru Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks all. I am going to take the plunge and go for the medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raifuru Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 All bits arrived from Spud and have found the medium mount gives me at least 8mm of clearance off the barrel. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
