If it's possible, taking the gun to a large box store and "trying on" rings would be best. Not an option for me up here in the sticks. I had to order online. Fortunately, my Springfield set up with Weaver standard bases and medium rings was already the perfect height. Then I added iron sights and went looking for quick detachable rings. Checking the big name manufacturers' websites I discovered how much variability exists in sizing. I finally had to settle for low Warne rings that are just slightly lower than standard Weaver medium rings (Weaver does make QD rings of same height as their standard rings but they are by all accounts junk). The low Warne rings worked. Then when I built my 404 Mauser 98, I picked up a rail the same height as the one on my Springfield (which was exactly the same height as the old Weaver bases it replaced) and checked the ring height using the scope and rings from the 30-06. Something a bit lower might be better but no one makes QD rings lower than Warne so I ordered a duplicate set. The old reliable 3x Weaver (formerly forty years hunting on my Springfield) does ghost the 404's front sight and hood (24" barrel) but I don't let it bother me. Bumping up to 4x would probably make it disappear but I prefer 3x or less for quick acquisition.
Thank you Sir!

The issue with the rifle in that image is the same problem I first faced mounting a 3x9 scope on my WWII Springfield: getting proper eye relief with a scope that has a short tube. At first I went with an extended ring ahead of the ejection port. That worked but when I added iron sights I wanted QD rings and no one makes those extended. So I found a CCOP USA rail with cutout for loading that would let me move the scope back just enough. It works fine and doesn't interfere with loading or ejection.
First I'm going to thank you sir and then I'm going to laugh at myself for a moment for why I didn't do this before. Might have been because of the little scope. As the big scope is off to repair I can either redo the forward base and the little scope or...hunt open sights! I have little to lose at this point being down to the 2.5x.
You may not be able to move the 2x scope back far enough if the front base is flipped around. For a DG rifle you want the crosshairs to instantly come into full view when the rifle is mounted. Don't want to be hunting for them when a buffalo is barreling down on you. Mount the scope loosely in the rings, just enough so that it can be moved with some effort. Then close your eyes and mount the rifle. Readjust scope eye relief and repeat until crosshairs come up instantly. Then mark the scope depth with a colored pencil against one ring. That way you can start leveling the scope without losing the eye relief.
