Owning and enjoy guns is a hobby for many people throughout the United States and even around the world. Hunters, marksmen and competitive shooters of all ages and levels of ability enjoy spending time on the range or out in the great outdoors improving their skills.
Accuracy with any weapon is going to be critical. Having the correct type of scope rings can have a very big impact on the continued precision required to sight in a target. Rings that incorrectly placed or that hold the scope in the wrong position on the weapon are going to be problematic and result in decreased accuracy.
Ring and Scope Size
Many of those new to shooting assume that the scope should be mounted in a position that is higher off the barrel, resulting in the head being held in more of an upright position.
In fact, the correct position of the scope is as close to the barrel as possible or as low along the line of the gun as can be provided without making direct contact. Most standard sized scope rings will work with conventional optics, but for larger diameter types of scopes, there are extension rings that create greater height to accommodate a larger diameter size.
Tips for Selection
When selecting scope rings and bases, take the time to contact the manufacturer to verify the right size and height. To get the ideal match, you will need to know the diameter of the scope measured at the objective lens. You will also need to provide the model of your rifle and, if you know it, the model of the scope.
Always check the return policy of the online store or the website if you are buying online, and do the same if buying in person. This way, if the rings and bases are not the right sizes, they can be exchanged for the correct options with ease and without additional cost.
