What height of scope rings do I need?

Long Wait for Delivery by Leebo, Verified Owner, March 7, 2025

The price is right by West Texas, Verified Owner, May 31, 2024
This is the least expensive scope I would own. It has reasonable features, good glass for the cost and pretty accurate windage and elevation adjustments. This is a great scope for an inexpensive 22lr build that will help build your abilities when you...
