Need recommendation on 11mm rings for Anschutz / Leupold EFR

[zanemoseley]

Ok so I got my 1907 in 1912 stock. I thought I had 11mm Talley rings left over from my CZ 452, they wouldn't fit the grooved received due to the hump in the receiver. So I ordered this 11mm scope base from CSS http://www.championshooters.com/index.p ... Itemid=111 The scope base fits great but I soon realized that my Talley rings were actually 3/8" instead of 11mm.

So I went to my local gun shop and bought a couple pair of Burris rimfire rings, they have the leaf clamp on the side that I though would work, the package didn't specifically state 3/8" or 11mm so I though it would clamp on either. Got home and it wouldn't clamp enough, looked them up on MidwayUSA and there is says they're designed for 3/8". Did I mention I have the worst luck EVER with mounting scopes, its definitely not my "thing".

So since I'm now stuck to ordering I might as well get a very good pair. I'm mounting a Leupold 6.5-20 x 30 VXIII EFR, what would you suggest under $100? I really wanted to shoot my new rifle this holiday break but guess I'll have to continue to be patient.

Anyone using the Anschutz Tip Off rings? CSS says the rail I got was designed for these and they're only $30.

I use BKL rings for scope mounting on my Anschutz (http://www.bkltech.com/).

Anschutz rings work just fine for rimfire. Wipe the inside with a little gun oil when you mount them. If the elevation is a problem use aluminum foil as a shim. The Burris signature rings might be a little nicer for centering the scope; wish they made these for 30mm tubes.

Well those Burris signature rings are for 3/8" rails, the anschutz rail is 11mm. Guess I'll give the Anschutz tip off rings a shot.

Zane,
Might give these a try http://www.brownells.com/optics-mountin ... 13108.aspx . Part # 874-000-084WB, they are a Talley ring that mounts directly to the groove on the receiver. I use them on a couple of Anschutz's and my Feinwerkbau. I use them to mount a Leupold 6.5-20x40 EFR using the high model.

BKL will do the job. I have tried them and tested on both spring airifle and Annie rimfire with both small and big EFR.

Get the Anschutz rail and a set of Kelbly rings.

I use the BKL mounts on my Anschutz rifles too. I have the normal double strap ones on my 1813 and one of the 4" cantileaver units on my old 1411, it's a 1964 model so only has the rear action ring grooved. I use either a Sightron SII 36×42 BRD or the very similar Optimate 36×44 FCD scopes usually.

These mounted to the Anschutz long base are what I use also. They are a little more expensive, but as I'v been told over and over again: buy once, cry once.

The benefit of the long Anschutz base from Champions Choice is that you can get the eye relief PERFECT for your eye & scope combination.

[zanemoseley]

Those Talley rings are actually what I have already just that mine are 3/8" dovetail version. I liked everything about them except for the initial mounting since they're not like normal rings where you mount the lower half then mount the upper half, seems it was a bit more tricky as the scope slides and swivels at the same time until the bolts are tightened.

[zanemoseley]

Maybe I'll just go with the Talley rings again. I do like that they're steel instead of aluminum. Mounting is a PITA but once its done I'll be ok.

On a side note those Kelby rings look really beefy but with the options I'd want I'd be looking at like $120. The most I've spent on rings was $150 and that hurt pretty bad, that rifle shoots to 600+ yards and can take advantage of them.

Pay once cry once.

BKL has worked very well on spring airgun so rimfire is piece of cake in terms of recoil.
Good value for money.

Ok I just ordered the Talley Anschutz rings from Brownells, I hope they work well. I also believe in the "but once, cry once" philosophy nut I've been doing a Hell of a lot of crying lately lol, the Talley rings should be a good compromise of quality and value.
