Scope question
« on: July 30, 2009, 06:08:58 PM »
I found a really good deal on a scope I want to put on my Handi 308. It has a 30mm tube and the scope has a 56mm obj. What would be a good set of rings to use with this set up? Thanks

Warne 30mm Maxima Permanent-Attachable Weaver-Style Rings Matte Extra-High come to mind first. Not sure if you could use regular high, but the extra high should definitely do it.

Ring Height: .650" (measured from base of ring to bottom of scope tube) for Extra High

Ring Height: .525" for High

Thanks to Tim I have some rings that will work with my new to me 30mm tubed scope. I could have swore when I talked to the fellow on the phone he said the scope was a 2.5-10x56mm but it turned out to be a 3-12x52 with 30mm tube. I had no idea about rings cause I have never had or been around a scope with a tube of 30mm. Thanks to Tim he fixed me all up.
