Trying to decide what height rings to order for my smokeless. The barrel has a 5 inch shank and the scope is 34mm tube and 56 mm objective, I'm trying to keep the scope as low as possible while allowing for proper clearance. I'm also looking for recommendations, with these things being a bit heavy I want something that will make carrying it around as easy and comfortable as it can be.

How I prefer mine is to shoulder the rifle eyes closed, when I open my eyes I am looking at a perfect sight picture. This feels natural to me and that is how I determine the ring height.

I've got a Hankins built encore smokeless, so Jeff knows the specifics of my barrel with his picatinny rail. I'm putting a new scope on it with a 34mm tube and 52mm objective. I decided to by my rings for this scope from Jeff. So, I emailed Jeff and told him I wanted to keep the scope as low as possible without any barrel contact from the objective. He replied that the 1" height rings would work, so that is what I ordered them.
They arrived quickly, but the scope is on back order, so I won't know from hands on experience until the scope comes in. It is not predicted for mid June.
I don't know how this translates to the specifics fo your setup, but it is one data point.
As for a sling, I like the Slogan Ultraflex slings.

That's the one I use on most of my firearms. |

Trying to decide what height rings to order for my smokeless. The barrel has a 5 inch shank and the scope is 34mm tube and 56 mm objective, I'm trying to keep the scope as low as possible while allowing for proper clearance. I'm also looking for recommendations, with these things being a bit heavy I want something that will make carrying it around as easy and comfortable as it can be. Magpul MS1 or the MS1 lite are the slings I would suggest. The MS1 is 1.25", the Lite is the same thing but 1" instead. I have the Lite on my Winchester tactical shotgun. It is a very nice sling. One style of sling I would DEFINITELY avoid is the ones that have a wide padded section for your shoulder. I've owned one and I honestly think I threw it away. The wide padded section is worthless. Sure, the padding is comfy, but the darn thing slips off your shoulder all day long! Totally useless and a huge pain to use. You actually need the strap to bite into your shoulder to keep it from falling off. (Which I am thinking is why Mark suggested 1"?) Some rifles I'll spring some extra $$ for a nice leather sling. It depends on what rifle we're talking and what it's purpose is. My pretty Anschutz 17 HMR with the nice walnut stock, it wears a leather sling. But for utility and durability the Magpul is a better choice. Scope ring height oftentimes finds me buying a set I think will work and sometimes they do sometimes I have to send it back for the next higher option. When you're going for as low as possible that's a surefire way to find out what works. Depends on the rings, sometimes I don't even return the first set I just order a second one and keep the first for the next mounting job. Your using 34mm, so I don't know how many times you're going to be mounting a different scope of the same diameter? |

Couple things I do, if Leupold type mounts are to be used I go to their MOUNT FINDER PAGE and fill in and look up, most of the time its going to be SUPER HIGH rings as considering what you have listed. If PIC rail is installed the med. would be my choice for slings on all my set up's the VERO Vellini sling with swivels is my thing #V19026 item number black
