   I just built my first LR-308 and am ready to buy rings.  On my AR-15's I have always bought the Ultra High which Badger lists as .809 and Warne lists as .935 to the bottom of the tube in order to get a good cheek weld, which have both worked great.

However, I noticed that Badger has a mount designated for the AR-10 and SR-25 which is their Extra High and only .659 to the tube .

What have you found to be the best ring height for this platform?
Thanks

I automatically assumed they'd be the same for the AR15 and the SR25/ AR10 types. I don't own an AR10, so I don't know. Somebody here knows, though!

The smooth sides have a higher rail on them than the A3's so Badger has made a set to fit those nicely. By the way does everyone out there know that the forward assist on the A3 style LR-308's is useless right from the git-go? We shouldn't need the FA anyway, I just wanted the dust cover and shell deflector, but the bolt carriers are not serated for the 308s.

The high-rise receiver was designed to work with low rings, if I'm not mistaken.
