So I just purchased an American Ruger Rifle in the 204 predator model and I am going to top it with a 4-16X50 nikon monarch. My question is, which scope rings should I get? Anyone who has any experience with this setup, please help me out.
Thanks
 
These are what I used.

I had to use mediums for a 44 mm objective. The lows were just on the edge of working.
 
You may be ok with mediums. I have an American Predator in 25/06 and I used low rings to mount my 40mm scope. It mounted perfectly with just enough clearance for a Butler Creek cover
 
My Savage 12 came with Med Height rings, now that is a different rifle, but the 50mm fit fine. I would get it to a shop to see what fits properly to be on the safe side.
 
I went ahead and just bought some highs to be safe. Thanks for the comments. Will post picture when I get her put together.

I'm curious why you wouldn't exceed 40 mm?

Never mind. I just saw you're post in the optics forum.
