Alpha/Delta Wolf Scope ring height

[Corvid_Hunter]

Looks like I'll be buying a new scope and will need rings for it. What height of rings are recommended for the Delta Wolf?

Yip I am running medium rings on the Ghost too. Have always wanted to try low rings as well but never seem to be in stock whereas the med/tall mounts always are. My vote goes for the Element XT medium rings.

Corvid, I would like to suggest something but not knowing what scope dimensions you have to consider you might choose the following. Go to the Leapers UTG web site and Search Rings. UTG offers a Data Sheet that list 8 items of scope interest. Actually 22 items listed.
2 of the columns are ring diameter and 'Fits on Max Scope Obj.' There is also Saddle height and profile, etc.
I went with the Leapers 30mm low rings for my 4x16-50mm scope #RG2W3104. works fine.
The Low profile has a 10mm saddle height. If you would need to go to a medium profile the height is 15mm, and the high profile is 22mm.
Now when I tried to put this same scope on the BlackWolf I needed the Medium profile due to the magazine loading from the top rather than the side. It is not always about lens diameters, But it's always something.
Hope this helps.

I have been using Westhunter and Vector adjustable rings. Both work very well. The Vector can adjust height and MOA. The Westhunter in picatinny are only height adjustable. Weirdly in dovetail are MOA adjustable.

Looks like a very good idea.
Have to read the site comments.

I cheated. I took my DW and scope into the local gun shop and we tried different ring heights until I got the fit I needed. The guys even mounted the scope for the price of the rings and saved me the last step.

I had tall rings in my Delta Wolf as memory serves. Normally, like my scope as low as possible, but on this rifle it would mean really laying my head over to get behind the ring. With the taller ring I could have my head more erect in a natural position for better shooting posture.

Thanks for all the replys gentlemen. I appreciate it.

I run the stock rings that came with my Blackhound scope. I believe they are MED and seem pretty good. On my alpha wolf I needed slightly higher rings.

One of the issues I've encountered is the lack of standardization for scope rings heights. High/medium/low doesn't mean much when each manufacturer is using something different

I ordered a new Athlon Helos BTR Gen 2 6-24x56 scope. On Athlon's website this is their recommendation.


I bought Vortex high rings for the rifle which are basically the same as their MSR height recommendation. I do have the adjustable height cheek rest if I need to use it.

Oh very nice scope....keep in mind the rifle in the pics have no raised scope rail, as the Delta Wolf does. Do you plan to pest/hunt with it, or mainly bench it?

I have the adjustable scope height mount for it so I shouldn't have to worry about the rings being too high. This one will likely be the one I take if I'm going for a walk as it's a little bit lighter than the .25cal Ghost.
