installing Nightforce NXS 2.5 x 10 x 32 onto Sako Vixen question

Installing a Nightforce NXS 2.5 x 10 x 32 onto a Sako L 461 Vixen. Can anyone tell me which set of Sako rings will clear the bolt handle from the scope . . . low, medium or high?
Many thanks!

I am fairly sure low would work. I am certain medium would give you more than enough clearance around bolt handle and objective

thanks Sakonut!

If you are using optilocks, the lows will work, with room to spare.

I;'ve never mounted a nightforce scope, but with optiloks I have an issue with my Zeiss conquest. The rear base is quite large and I like to mount the scope as far forward as it will go(long neck, big head and 4 inches of eye relief) and the large eye piece bumps the scope base. Burris rings and bases eliminate this problem, the rear base is sloped and gets me about 1/3 of an inch more space.
