a17

I just bought a Savage A17 and have been looking at a few scopes. I think I have decided on a Hawke 4-12x40. I was wondering what height rings could I run to keep the scope as low as possible? Also interested in more scope choices.

Anyone out there have any experience with the Savage A17 17 cal auto loading rifle ? Iam a Savage/Stevens rifle fan from way back ... And was very pleased that Savage was the one to release the "new" 17 cal semi auto loading rifle . I have many Stevens 22 "Gill guns " along with other Savage...
