10-20 MOA scope mounts?
OK, I have googled and run a forum search to no avail.
I shoot some 200 yard .22 rimfire matches. I cant get enough elevation with my scope and I dont want mess around trying to shim the rings. Somewhere I seem to remember someone making some rings for this specific problem but all I can come up with is some VERY expensive bases for Remington 700 etc, centerfires.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Re: 10-20 MOA scope mounts?
Yup, these use spherical bushings to clamp the scope. Eccentric ones are available in +/- .005, .010, and .020" sets.
My Anschutz 2002 SSP air rifle has a dovetail in front of the port maybe .080" lower than the rear dovetail.
With the rings 4" apart, I was able to mount a scope (Sightron 6.6-20x42) and get a 10M setting only 4" high with the elevation screwed down tight.
This illustrates the flexibility these rings offer for unconventional mounting.
By putting a +.020" under the scope in the front ring and the -.020" insert under the scope in back (with the corresponding -.020 on top in front and +.020" in back, I got a 10M setting only one turn from bottomed out, leaving LOTS of elevation for rams ( a little over a whole revolution above my 20yd setting).
My small bore need about 19 minutes to get from 100yd to 200yd with SV ammo. I would try a +/- .020" pair in one ring. Idf that doesn't get you close enough to the bottom with your 40M setting, add a pair to the other ring.

Try this one from BKL: http://www.bkltech.com/1x4x0_6_DC_007_S ... -260d7.htm
Our Club regularily shoots 200 yard matches and this base lets me shoot with a center hold from the 40 meter chickens out to 200 meters using a Leupold 6.5x20 scope on my SAKO.

Make sure to order the Signature Zee rings, since the plain Signature rings do not use the offset bushings.jbolt wrote:Look at the Burris Signature rings.

Signature = rings with the inserts, can be standard, dual dovetail, rimfire, etc

Signature Zee = rings with the inserts that fit Weaver bases

Re: 10-20 MOA scope mounts?
You are correct, and I am reminded to do my research instead of working from memory. It's the Weaver Zee rings that do not use inserts.

Re: 10-20 MOA scope mounts?
All's well with the rings, I can zero for 40 meters and still have quite a bit of "down" left, and I can go right up to 200 meters and have quite a bit of "up" left. Am now happy camper. Thanks for the info.
