scope rings 45-70

I have ordered the scope base from Brownells and will order the Bushnell banner 1 1/2 -4 1/2 as suggested in the faqs for the 45-70.
what height scope rings do you use for this scope and can I mount the scope with the 4"eye relief ahead of the hammer ?

You'll need at least high rings if you don't modify the hammer and extension, the only scopes that can be mounted ahead of the hammer are short fixed power scopes on an Ultra rail which isn't made any more, unless you go with a different scope and scout mount it.

Sorry, the only one I've played with is a BSA, I wouldn't recommend it, maybe someone else can help ya there.

The VX1 will easily mount in medium, maybe even low rings.
