I have medium height rings on all of my Steyrs, all with 56mm objective scopes with 30mm tubes. Zero problems with clearance on either end.


I've never owned a Steyr. I've always heard stories about the bolt handle needing higher rings than on other rifles. I have however handled several Steyr rifles with 40mm objective scopes mounted just off the barrel and the bolt cleared just fine.
