I am looking at mounting this on a flattop receiver and using a Nightforce unimount. Any idea what height/model would give reasonable clearance? — 1 Answer

I would recommend a 1.5" ring height (A221 or A496). You might be able to go a size lower. As with all mounting hardware these are just my suggestions, there may be factors I don’t know about and there are many other ways to mount this optic to your rifle. I highly recommend mock mounting everything first to ensure it is what you are looking for.
