Thread: Mounting new Burris, doesn't fit current rings?

Just went to put the new Burris Sig 3-15x44 on my Rem700 w/ Talley rings (low I think) and it doesn't fit length ways on the rings. I was hoping to sit it in there and adjust back for forth to set my eye relief but the big jump from tube to ocular end on the Burris is hitting the base of the rings. Part of mounting it on was also to see if the new 44mm obj. lens came to close to the barrel and it looks like it does.

So I suppose new rings are necessary but what type of rings do I need to provide sufficient eye relief adjustment? Even if the current rings were high enough such that the scope wasn't touching anywhere, I would still have less than an inch to play with horizontally for eye relief.

Any tips appreciated. Also worth noting that I was going to take it in to Rivers to Ranges on Sunday to be sighted in anyway so do I just take the whole setup there and let James sort it out? Cheers
