    It does have the all the Leupold reticles as far as I can see. Only one I couldn t find was the wind plex for the vx5. Bloody handy feature to just wind the mag up or down and see what the values are.

    Type vx-5 in the search
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Measure from ring centre to gas port but remove the angle factor or it will throw the length out.

    Or use a vernier caliper, measure barrel outside diameter below scope objective lens, measure scope objective diameter and then measure the gap between scope and barrel.

    gap + half objective + half barrel diameter = scope height. Geeked out pretty hard on that but the number is very accurate.

    You could measure the bolt diameter instead of barrel diameter, since they share the same centerline.

    Guess it depends on the rifle setup, but I can do most of mine like this:

    Shit I just measure the gap between the top of the reciever and scope and add 1/2 the bolt diameter and 1/2 the scope diameter.
