Medium, with a 44mm objective medium should be just fine.

Hi,
https://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-30mm-cantilever-riflescope-ring-mount-for-ar-15.html
These Vortex ring mounts feature a two to three-inch offset orientation, which allows you to install your telescopic sight in a forward location. With its offset position, you can maintain the correct head placement and eye relief when looking through the rifle scope, impossible on the AR-15 with a straight mount.
Good choice for this scope.
Thank You.
