I have just ordered my first rifle - Savage Axis 2 Precision. I am going to purchase the EP5 but have no idea which height of mounts I should get - would medium be the correct ones?
This is my first scope so don't know a great deal.I am going to get the combo pack from Arken with the 34mm 1.26 medium rings. I assume that matches with your recommendation?:)
The EP5 will work with the Halo Low rings, in conjunction with the 20MOA mounting rail. If you wish to use the sunshade, and/or Flipits scope caps, it will be very close. It is close on my rifle, and the caps barely touch the barrel.
If that is too close for you, I would recommend the Halo Mediums. It should give you approximately 5/16" clearance for the objective, and about 1/4" clearance with the caps.
My 25-06 AI isnāt as close as my 6xc. Bartlein mod 40bb 7 twist 28ā tube,using 135 Bergerās. This is not a sporting profile Barrel, very close to a factory heavy barrel. Low rings .92. 20 moa base,EP5 5-25.
That's a close fit š
thanks for the photos - really helps. I think the medium rings will work for me. š

I am going to have to change out my rings once I get my Outlier barrel installed! The barrel diameter is 1.2", with no taper.
