    I have the 3-15x56 and will be moving it to this build. I love it. Very clear and crisp, especially in low light. I use it for predator hunting and most of which is at night. Field of view is great as well.

      I used Seekins lows on the last build using a Lone Peak Razor action, so rail probably same height. I mounted a VX-5 HD with 56mm objective. I works but scope has to be in 1 position for the power ring to clear, this places the objective where it has maybe 1/32" clearance over barrel. It's the perfect height for me.
      Same here, I switched from mediums to lows. It is perfect IMO with lows and basically the same scope.

        So are y'all saying go with lows over the mediums?

            I'm not sure if I need mediums or lows. The guys saying they put low rings on last years build with a 56mm might be right, but this is a different action and barrel on the 2019 build. What was 1/32 of clearance last year might be different with this barrel/action. Maybe Robert can fill us in?

              That is what I’m thinking. 1/32nd isn’t much. And these stocks look to have a pretty tall cheek piece.

                I have a VX-5HD 44mm on last years build with seekins lows and there is no way a 56mm would fit.... I think....

                      No, I had a brain fart, I saw 56 and read 52 (**** dyslexia ). You would probably have to go with mediums. Mine is a 52mm obj. and fits very close.

                          We all know what "think" causes.

                          Once again, Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x56 Firedot duplex in Seekins lows (0.82") 30 mm rings.

                              Robert would it be possible for your painter to paint a stock similar to the Mesa version of the Carbon desert night so we can see what it will look like?

                              This is what it would be. Ya'll will have to decide if it's close enough.

                                That’s fine but I’d go mediums just because of eye relief adjustability considering how much room you have with the mounting tube in front of the turret. I’ve got mediums on most of my vx6’s and I can move them back with plenty of room.
