Which rings do i need?

[Bill Allen]

Well, I have some potentially good news. Someone told me that they thought that number 26 located on the bottom of my rings, actually referred to the height of the rings and that they are mediums. Does that make sense? I was able to find a place on the Internet that had a picture and measurement of low, medium and high rings and these do appear to be mediums. I measured the ring and I get exactly 1" but I don't have a metric ruler handy. Wouldn't this be more likely than the rings having been built to cradle a 26mm scope?
