Scope Rings

wbelcher
I have 5 model 44 stevens rifles that are drilled and tapped for target scope blocks .My tired old eyes need more help than the 438 Lyman scopes that I have mounted on them . Does anyone make 1 inch rings that will fit target scope blocks ?? I don't want the barrels to look like swiss cheese plus I have more than enough 3-9's in my inventory . Regards , 637e .

    All depends on the objective size of the scope your going to mount. Rem. 700's have very high iron sights and if your gonna go with atleast a 40mm obj. i'd go with the high rings to be safe. I have the medium rings on my 700 and the scope is just slightly above the barrel, maybe 3/8 of an inch. I have no sights but if I did i would be able to see them in the scope with the med. rings

    Why keep the irons? Just wondering....

    Burris Signature rings are hard to beat in my experience. The height you need is dependent upon the size of the scope, the lower the better, as long as it does not touch the barrel.

    wbelcher,

    check out; www.brownells.com/.aspx/lid=11213/guntechdetail/How_To_Determine_The_Ring_Height_You_Need

    Add the height of your rear sight (folded down if possible) to the ring hight from the chart.

    +1 bpost1958,
    Just one man's way of looking at things, but I've concluded that for me, the theoretical advantage of keeping the iron sights is more than offset by the everyday disadvantage that comes with the higher scope and reduced contact with the stock that it requires. (One of many reasons I've never had any use for see through mounts, either.)
    That said, it's never bothered me to see the barrel and/or front sight in the bottom of the scope image, so if I felt that I had to keep the irons on, I'd go with as small an objective end as I could live with and mount the scope as low to the barrel as the combination would allow.

    I have a couple BDL's and a scope the size of a Leupold 2-7X mounts just fine behind the rear sight. One is in med. rings and one is in low. Longer scopes probably will require the removal of at least part of the rear sight. There is no need to remove the front sight--you may pick up a shadow at low power but that soon becomes no distraction.
