I recently purchased a new 700 BDL 30-06 and I have a Redfield Revolution 3-9x with a 50mm lens to mount on it. I mounted the bases and lapped the rings which all turned out great. The problem I am having is with the front ring being slightly too far farword for the scope to fully seat. It doesn't appear to be much more than 1-2mm too much but it is enough to damage the scope if I attempted to attach the top half of the ring. I'm using Leupold STD High Rings (49904) and STD Rem 700 bases (50016). I believe these are correct for the rifle but should I be using a front Extension ring?
