    I’m getting a new scope for my 308 and am wanting to buy the rings as a bundle. Was hoping to get some input on ring height before I order to save time.

    Gun is a Bergara HMR in 308 and it has a 20MOA EGW base. Scope is an Arken EP4 6-24x50. This scope has a 34mm tube.

    Im stuck between low .92 or medium 1.26 rings.

    Not exactly sure of your question but when I’ve been unsure of ring heights, I’ve been know to stack up coins and/or feeler gauges to test the scope height and ring location before ordering.

    I didn’t do this recently and ended up with three sets of rings and a $100 base that didn’t get used.

    I would guess .92
