Mini Thirty scope question

If it is just barely touching it at all, no its not really a big problem. If there is any amount of force being applied to the scope from the handguard then yes, it could be a problem.

It could potentially wreck the scope if too much force is being applied to the front of it, and after repeated Mini beatings, something could break.

I didnt say will or will not because there is no way to know. If it seems like its really snug on that handguard then I would get some different height rings. If its just barely touching it then I wouldnt worry about it.

Just my 2 cents

Some have cut a hole in the handguard to clear it. Or just get the right rings and make them quick detachable! Maxima Ruger Rings

My scope touched and it threw it off. I nix'd the ruger rings and went to a Weigland weaver rail which raised it up just enough that it does not touch at all now.

How about a choate hand guard? Sits lower than the factory guard. Looks better and ventilates heat better too.
