H&R 30/06 w/Nikon Primos....what rings? please help!
« on: March 02, 2010, 11:00:40 AM »
New here, so please excuse my request if someone else has already asked this, but I was hoping for some suggestions on what rings to use with this scope, which is of course a 3-9x40. I do have the hammer ext. and the scopes eyepiece is fairly large. I have another nef but with a Nikon Prostaff also in a 3-9x40, but with std medium weaver rings. Not too sure what you guys think, but I am not a fan of these rings, and was hoping to use something else. I just tryed the Redhead Z-2 medium rings, but they put the scope about 3/16" too high, and also completely clears the hammer. I was thinking of trying the Weaver quad lock rings but will have a hard time getting them. Is there anyone out there with close to this combination and in addition getting the scope's objective fairly close to the barrel? Tx in advance!!!

I used low Millett angle-loc windage adjustable rings with a Nikon Buckmaster on on my 223 Ultra and a Nikon Omega on a 45/70 Ultra on the advice of the guys at my local shop.  The rings are nice all steel with a good windage adjustment which makes it super easy to align them.  I'm really happy with them, both rifles shoot great.  I've also used them to mount a 3-9 Weaver on a Rem 700 7mm mag.  I think I've been paying about $25 a set.

I have two Nikon Monarch 3-9X40 scopes mounted on my Handis using medium Burris ZEE rings. I had a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9X40 that I had to go to the high ZEE rings because of the large power adj. ring.

Some of my scopes require Ex-High rings to clear the hammer and extension.  Sometimes that is just a bit too high for my face on the stock, so I use a small lace on leather cheek piece to raise my face just a bit to make it comfortable to shoot.
