This document provides guidance on matching the height of rifle scope rings to the diameter of the rifle scope's objective lens. It lists common objective lens sizes from 20mm to 56mm and recommends whether low, medium, high, or super high rings generally provide the best fit, while also noting exceptions for rifles with heavy barrels. An illustration shows the relative heights of low, medium, and high scope rings.
