It seems to vary a lot between manufacturers in my experience , what height are you looking for ? I can try to help you locate what your after .

Medium "Hawke Rings" is 5/8th from bottom of ring to scope mount rail. So they are atleast 1/2 inch. Have no high rings here but assume they must be close to 1 inch.

Warne Maxima #202 is .525". They're split vertically so a little harder to put on but they're good rings, I've got 2 sets on rifles.

Those up-right split rings won't work fer my project. I will be usin jus the bottom halves of the set of rings.Then a 1/8"-3/16" plate. 4 holes drilled to use machine screws :)

Vixenmaster, I've got some 1" aluminum rings, one set measures 3/8 and the other is .710, just a hair over 11/16. Nothing in the 1/2" range, but If either of these will work for you their yours.

There is a chart at this site that may be useful for the information that you are looking for.

I believe that you would need a high ring if you need 1/5" between the bottom of the scope and the top of the mount rail.
