how much clearance from the rail to the bottom of the scope ring?

1/2 inch. That is from the part of the mount that is flat against the rail to the bottom part of the curvature of the ring is 1/2 inch.

If I could make a suggestion, I purchased mine for an AR10 and found I needed more height because of the bolt, so I also purchased a 1/2" rail extension and it worked great!

You'll need high rings mediums won't give adequate clearance especially on AR's with rails

13 inches with the included scope covers on. It would likely be 12.5 inches or so without.

Hello David, atxguy here....If you were asking by stating "rail" the bottom mount surface of the unit, ie, the picatinny rail, that measurement is +/-.906" by my using my digital caliper, you can convert to closest fraction if you need and do not have access to a caliper.Hope this helps, if I misunderstood your question respond and I will do again......

The rings I have are about 3/16" above the rail. Meaning that they are obscenely low if you are wanting something tight to the barrel. If you have a scope with larger lenses you may want to go with a midrange height mount.

I apologize for the delayed response on your question. Basically once mounted the top of the rail is 5/8'' from the top of the M91 barrel. It is a nice fit but unfortunately for me it will require me to get a cheek rest as it does raise the scope up a bit. This is also variable according to the scope and ring height that you mount on it as well. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The sight sits right on Picatinny. Measured from top of rail to center of magnifier lense is roughly 1 9/16". Hope that helps

I didn't have a caliper handy for precision measurement, but by eyeballing it with a steel tape it is almost 3/8" from the top of the rail to the bottom, out at the edge. The base curves a little to conform to the top of the receiver, so it is maybe 5/16" at the center. It's pretty low profile. I didn't have a Weaver rail handy, but I've observed that theirs is about 1/8" lower than the UTG.

Mine is 3/4" from top of rail mounted. This is the base with the rear site down

There should be enough play to level it out before you set the screws with lock tight. I'm guessing that the rings may be a bit high on your scope. See if you can find some lower profile rings but still keep it off the rail.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking but I have this scope mounted on a Ruger 10/22 with low profile base and rings to get the objective within a hair of the barrel. I may(?) be wrong but I don't think you will find a scope mount and rings combination that will be too low to accommodate this scope. If I have not completely answered your question or you still have concern, recommend call Leupold customer service. They are user friendly and will go out of their way to answer your question more specifically.

I have Nikon Buckmaster mounted on a Savage Model 11 .243 rifle and do not have any clearance problem. I am using Weaver (medium) scope mounts.

the length of the sight laying down is 1 and 15/16ths inch. In the upright deployed position it requires 15/16ths of an inch rail space.

I don't know. I bought these for a break barrel air gun. One of the rings has a base screw that is tightened into a recess on the air gun and stops mount creep from the two way recoil of these type airguns. The bottom of the scope tube when mounted is 1 inch above the top of the gun. Don't know if this helps answer your question.

I think I mounted it with normal height rings. It did not need anything special on my cz455 .17 hmr with 3/8 dovetail

Hi Ralph! The manufacturer does not provide this information, but customer response is 12" from floor to the bottom of the side rail. Hope that helps and thanks for the question!

I do not think there is enough clearance to use a scope with a fixed site...I can use my one-inch rail mount to sight through if I loose my scope..
