For the AR platform which height rings worked for you best?
? For anyone with a Leupold mark 4 with a 30 mm tube...

Outsider, it may depend as much on the shape of your face as anything else.
I have found for me, that if I use an ultra high ring I get the best results.
If you have a buttstock that is adjustable, like a PRS, it may not matter as much as you can adjust the buttstock to match the rings if the rings are too high.
My problem is my cheekbones are big enough that I would need a buttstock that goes lower if I had low rings, so for me I just use a non-adjustable buttstock and higher rings.
The best and lightest rings I have found are the Badger Ordnance P/N 306-18 MAX-Alloy (5.1 oz.) MSRP: $168.
Here's a link: http://badgerordnance.com/30mm-scope-rings/
In fact I have a set I have to get listed here for sale one of these days when I can get a picture of them.
You may have to try several and see which ones work best for you.
Good luck.

You're gonna want the centerline of the scope to be ~1.5" above the rail (+ or - 0.1"), and the rings or base connected only to the upper receiver. Most AR-style cantilever mounts will address both of these aspects. If you have a true monolithic upper, where as the receiver and handguard are one piece, you have a little more flexibility with mount and ring positioning.Drifter

1.5" height above the receiver is standard, +/- depends on your physical build. LaRue is a very good mount. The LT158 works for me.

Outsider,
On my Grendel, I went with the OBR mount from LaRue - expensive yes, but unbelievable consistency when remounting the scope. But I also have the flexibility of a Magpul PRS for fit.
I do have a set of the Badger's that were mentioned in the thread as well on a Bolt Gun. Good product and rock solid.
