Ring Height Issue

I managed to end up with a 6x18 Tasco that fits my Savage FV with .575" high rings. Great except the scope is crappy and fuzzy above 14 power. It's now in the use it on something else box.

Then I found a Braska scope on line for a reasonable price. It looks great - BUT the objective lens outside diameter is 62mm. .575" rings on a Weaver base are too low. I need to find taller rings, but searching online had found a lot of confusing height measurements.

Anyone have an idea?

Most measure from centerline of scope to top of rail. Straight edge from rail along barrel to find distance from rail top to barrel, at desired length. Add them up.
