Which UM rings

Background: I recently got a McMillan Mountain Tracker LR stock for one of my Tikkas (I was one of the 50 backers for the project). When I put the gun together, I used a Mountain Tactical Raptor Med 20 MOA mount to mount the Maven RS1.2 scope. With the factory stock, it worked just fine. With the McMillan stock, it sits just a bit too low for me to get a good sight picture when shouldering the stock "naturally" or "neutrally" (if that makes sense).

When taking some rough measurements on the front ring, I get 1.75" from bore center to center of the rings and 1" from the bottom of the ring to the center. It looks to be 1-1/8" from the top of the Tikka rail to the center of the ring, but that is rough due to how the Raptor mount is constructed. I tried to find info on the Mountain Tactical website for dimensions, but I couldn't find anything other than how big of an objective bell will fit with the different sizes.
UM lists the Medium as being 1.2". I assume that is from the top of the rail to the center of the ring. If so, I believe that will work, but I wanted to ask some folks who are using UM rings with either this stock or with a RokStock, and a Maven scope, what rings are you using?

Thanks!
 
For rokstoks with RS1.2 and LRTS i'm using UM highs and sportsmatch highs (HTO73) on different rifles. The SM HTO73 is 1.26"ish from top of rail to center of ring.

But I dont want my head down hard on the stock like many seem to want and i must have a short neck because I seem to be back further on the stock with cheek weld than most. Too high > too low.
