Don't have my calipers with me, but measure from the top of the sight rail to the top of the mag. This will give you saddle height. I'd say at least 1mm more than your measurement will be what you need.

Thank you. In full disclosure I don't have the Bandit yet... it's being delivered tomorrow. I was attempting to get a jump on the scope mount. Waiting another day won't be the end of the world.

Good luck with your Bandit. I think you can guess I have one. And Welcome to you, to the forum. Be Well, Bandito.

Thanks for the welcome! I’ve been searching here for tips and mods for my Bandit. There’s no shortage of info to digest for sure.

I ended up with 1” Warne high rings (.615” ring height). There is about 1/8” of clearance from top of magazine to the turret housing.

Hello - please tell me about your Burris optic there. I'm considering an optic for my Bandit.

Burris scope Hello Rivegauche. Mine is a used two power scope with a plex reticle I purchased from Ebay. I am not sure when it was manufactured but it is an older American made model. They are currently made in the Philippians. Parallax is set at 100 yards which isn't optimum for Bandit ranges but it has not an issue for me.
