Rifle scope mounts

Post by ebenezer » Wed Oct 29, 2008 6:53 pm

Dear all and Mack The Knife in particular,

I tried to fix these mounts on my .22 IOF rifle (pics attached) and then the scope. After fixing them I discovered that the bolt couldn't be opened as the mounts were too low and the hind end of the telescope would hinder the movement of the bolt handle. I need your suggestions. Should I attach any extra fitting between the railings and the mounts to increase the height or go for taller mounts. If so, where will I get them.

The pics:

Thanks and regards,
Ebenezer

You will need a two-piece scopemount raiser with similar dovetails on top or higher mounts to let the bolt clear the eye bell.
