scotttomo Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Sorry mods if this is in the wrong section How are mounts measured? Is the height from the base of the dovetail to the middle of the ring, or from the base to the top of the ring? Just need to know to determine what size mounts i currently have in relation to mounts i need to buy so i can fit my scope onto my s10 bbk.

Dunkield Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Do you want it moved to the Airgun section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 FYI - MOST scope mount makers give hieghts from the bottom of the dovetail to the bottom flat of the scope clamp. So if you put your calipers across the shortest part of the scope ring (the bit nearest the Rifle) and the flat that sits on the top of the rifle dovetail you will get the height in .001" or mm. I can take a pic in the morning if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotttomo Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks burpster your a star now to order my new mounts. Any recommendations anyone? Thanks again, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Jeez thats like asking what rifle or scope should I get..... Sportsmatch make pretty nice budget mounts, although I now use Burris mounts on my non-Sako mount rifles as all of these have plastic cups inside to prevent excess pressure being put on the side of the scope tube and assuring perfect alignment. Theyt are quite deat nut IMHO worth every penny. Staruightforward dounble clamp dovetail rings - Sportsmatch take some beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
