I am getting impatient and I would like to have everything here at once ready for setup. So my issue is I am not sure what the correct height will be with my rings, bases and scope. The scope is in the mail so I cannot get the measurement so thats why I am asking for a little help.

Rifle is a Remington 700 SA
The scope is a Bushnell 4200 6-24x40 AO
The rings are leopold mk 4 Low so they are 21mm from base to center of scope.

Now my question is, what size base will I need to clear with this scope/ring combo. I am not sure if it is to low to clear with a regular base or will I have to go will the slightly taller farrell base. Either way im okay with it I just dont want to spend a bunch of money with trial and error.

It is just factory contour 5R milspec HB. If I had the scope I would have no problem figuring out the height but the scope is in mail and it wont be here for about another week. I wanted to order the base before I got the scope so I could get them about the same time as im very impatient. I wasnt sure anyone would have the measurment unless they are running the same setup. If its not possible ill wait another week until the scope comes in.

With those measurements, 21mm from centre axis of scope rings to base, and your scope is only 40mm obj (20mm from axis centre to outside) You could theoetically place it on a flat table and it would be okay (1mm clearance) Add any base to this and you are going to be ok. Not sure about cant though....
 
Can you let me know how those rings work out for you. Im the same, I want it yesterday. Waiting for my rifle which should be here by the end of the week, got the scope and 20 moa base but no rings. Just would like to know if it works out for you
 
If it's an AO it may be considerably bigger than 40mm, and you have to turn it, but you should still be okay but something to check..plus I think they are a long scope.
