You can place stacked quarters between the rifle and scope to get the right clearance for objective bell and bolt, measure the thickness of the quarters, and buy the corresponding height Talley rings.

I put a DNZ I piece ring set on my buddies Howa 1500 and really liked the sturdiness and simplicity of a 1 piece mount. 

I have used standard leupold rings and bases on lots of rifles though and they worked great too.

Most medium height rings will fit if the rifle has a standard sporter type barrel and standard weaver style bases. If it has something heavier like the long range or Sendero a high ring might be needed depending on the height of your base.  I would recommend a set of the Burris Signature Zee rings in medium height.
