See thru mounts IMO, are way too high, specially with a stock made for use with iron sights, which would be the only reason I could possibly want to use see thrus. Way back when scopes were less reliable than they are now, see-thrus were well liked, but I just don't see the need for them now. With the scope rail mounted, I can't even see the rear sight on my Hornet over the rail.

I use medium or high Burris Signature Zee rings almost exclusively, mediums on most, but some scope will require highs to clear the hammer.

different rings manufacturers use different hieghts for thier low, medium, high, extra high designations but I agree with Quick, for a general answer the mediums should work fine....<><.... :)
