Leupold 4.5-14x50mm LR

Looking to use Talley fixed rings and bases on my 9 lug Mk V with this scope and was wondering what ring height I need to go with?

 

[SJB358]

I would think Mediums would work fine. Call them, great folks to talk with.

 

[DrMike]

I should think mediums will be just perfect for you.

 

[boomer68]

Thanks guys. Will get some mediums.

I have the same scope on my Accumark I believe it has med. rings somewhere
in the safe is the box as I have the same setup on all my rifles base and ring wise.
I can send you a picture of the clearance of the obj bell if you want to
see what it looks like. Mine are fixed 30MM. with the Talley 9 lug bases.

I forgot to add... As far as the scope and base/ring system my .340
has not beat it loose yet, and the scope has held zero with the repeated
heavy recoil. I'm very pleased with the set up. Skid

 

[SJB358]

That's a great looking rifle Skidmark. Very nicely set up.

 

[HOGWILD338-378]

That is a fine looking rig for sure, I like them objectives down low like that! What kinda shooter is it!

 

[BK]

Yes sir! An Accumark in .340 is high on my list of 'wants'! Nice rig, skidmark.

 

[skidmark]

Yes it shoots well, however it took some time
to find the best load. I believe the last 3 in this target were
84gr 7828 with 250 SGK's. @ a modest 2850 dialed up 3.5"
@ 100yds for my 300 yd zero. Just wish I had some 250 Accubonds
to make Nosler Proud...

 

[SJB358]

Yeah, that sorta accuracy is hard to not love!

Do you hunt with the 250 GK's?

 

[skidmark]

Yeah, that sorta accuracy is hard to not love!

Do you hunt with the 250 GK's?

Yes hunting with the Sierra's in 250gr.
I have shot Mule and whitetail deer but no Elk as of yet
with the SGK's and can't comment on core separations
as I have not recovered one yet. It is a very accurate
bullet. Someday I'll get some of those elusive Accubonds

 

[SJB358]

Right on, I was wondering. They do have a whole lot of mass. I imagine they will put the pain on a bull elk without too much drama.

 

[boomer68]

Very nice skidmark. You must have ordered the rings from Weatherby directly?

 

[skidmark]

Yes Boomer that set came from Weatherby when I ordered the gun.
Every other set I got Directly from Talley. They were great people to deal with.
Super solid system. Skid

 

[boomer68]

Just a follow up on this...

Got some Talley rings and bases and was wondering which way they should be mounted?

One base says 1 and the other is 30. The previous owner had them on his .340 Accumark and I am mounting them on my .378 Euromark.

Rings are 30mm BTW.

Nice looking setup, Skidmore!
