Can't spot the OD of a 56mm objective anywhere easy to find. Want to mount on a pic rail on a Tikka T3X TAC A1. I'm guessing I need about 1.25 high for that, but, of course, don't want to wind up too high. But, may also want to put on a 20MOA rail later on, and don't know if or how that may affect the ring height with that change. Like to try to get this right, the first time.
Could use some input on that.
 
For reference I use the Spuhr SP-4602 mount on my Tikka Tac A1. It's the "high" mount with a 20 MOA built-in.... just know that a vortex objective flip-up bell cover will fit, or the sunshade will fit, but both will not fit with that flat top guard...you would need an extra high mount.
 
I see what you are saying, good point. Not sure if I'll use a shade or not. If I do bother with covers, it will be the elastic style ones, had bad juju with flip-ups, so I don't use them anymore.
 
They got back to me today, 65mm OD on it, so, ya, 1-1/2" is definitely it. I was suspecting that in the beginning, but....had to ask as I had no idea of that dim for sure.
 
Ooooooh! Got it del'd today. Sunday del by Cda Post yet. Along with a parcel from Hirsch. I am impressed. That really is a nice scope. I do believe it was worth the wait. Also got to see a vid of a Coyote brown Tac A1 this AM with a 56mm on it and the XTR Signature rings, this setup will work for me. That scope has a great reticle in it, not too crowded with junk, nice and open in the middle of the cross, even at full mag. Quite a pile of eye relief as well. Turrets are stiff compared to what I'm used to, nice clicks. Not likely to be hauling it around hunting though, too old to be packing this setup around, it ain't light. Think I am going to have some fun with it.
 
FYI, put it on there with 30MOA inserts, XTR 34mm Signatures, 1-1/2" high, sunshade on, the covers scrape going on, but, there isn't any difficulty at all, getting them on there. It comes with a similar type of elastic cover to Swaro's, clear ones.
