High ring mounts

Post by 22's forever »

Who makes high scope rings or bases to get up to the two in mark? I have Kimber bases with high burris signature rings. They are still not high enough for me. I'm leaning over the rifle I was told. I would still like to use the signature stye rings with the inserts. Or at least a high quality custom ring. This is for a Kimber HS rifle.
Thanx again for any help

Are you sure you want to reach 2"? Is this a standard rifle or hunting class rifle? BLK bases with hi Burris only took my set up to 1.5"; Maybe a combination of double BLK's with a standard ring will get the desired height. Always can have a machinist build to fit.
Close only counts with grenades and horseshoes.

i used a burris zee ring and a tall dovetail to weaver adapter to get 1.5 on my cz. i jest switched to BLK xtalls , they are a smidge lower but they fit my hold much better.

i got the weaver adapters from Eric Brooks when he was returning emails.

I've tried just about every height. High is good until you have to shoot in some wind. I am now back down to some .700 Marvins I just got from Mark Pharr. Last year at Ridgway, Zander told me "boy, you've got 12 lbs of dead weight on your shoulders, might as well use it to steady your stock..."

I am surprised that you need mounts that high. The Leupold extra-highs are more than enough for me and I could get by with the high mounts. If the mount was any higher I wouldn't be able to get a good cheek weld and I have a long neck.
