Default Scope ring height question

I am ordering rings with my rifle tomorrow morning
Im not sure which ring height I need
The rings are Vortex tactical
Im mounting a leupold on a Remington 700 with a picatinny rail
Im not sure what height of rings I need
Its a heavy barrel
The outside objective with scope cap is 63mm with a 30mm tube
I can not get the measurement from the picatinny rail to the barrel contour on a remmy 700 HB.
Anybody help??

Medium rings, assuming it is a 50 MM objective to measure 63 mm on the outside with the scope covers on. You could decrease that outside diameter quite a bit using screw on Leupold flip up scope covers.

I ordered rings from P&D in Edmonton and they were very helpful and got me exactly what I needed. A+ customer service
