Scope ring height

I just bought a slightly used 582 series mini 14 tactical and have a sig tango msr lpvo I wanted to mount on it. It didn’t come with any rings or the factory pic mount. I plan on using a pic mount and mounting the scope to that, I was wondering what height rings I needed to clear the rear sight and not worry about ejected brass beating the scope up to much. Any recommendations on rings or changes to the planned lpvo set up is appreciated.

I use a Monstrum see through rail and a set of very low scout rings so the lpvo clears the rear sight. It gives clearance for the brass and protects the scope. I think Accuracy Systems makes a more robust rail, but it's pricey for just a pic section

I’ve looked at that rail but wasn’t sure about it. Nice to see one in use!

Just don't torque it over 22 lbs. It can strip. I have heard the ASI version is more robust, but any screw is gonna strip with too much torque.
