Scope mounts, problem

[somnophore]

Hi there, just got a second hand scope complete with mounts, but appers this will not fit my Webley Stingray II. The mounts arnt high enough to allow the parralax to be adjusted, its just pushed against the rifle, so im assuming i need bigger mounts, but where from and what sort, and where do I measure these mounts from to determine wat size these are.

It would help if you told us which scope you have.

Scope is an MTC Cobra 3-9x42 AO mil dot, i dont know what mounts are on it, but they arnt big enough ie. high enough off my gun.

well your lense is 42 mm , you can actually get 45mm mounts, two piece i would get, but if you require extra space get the 56mm high mounts, you can get these of jsr for £14 called accushot if the scope tube is 1inch you will need 1 inch mounts if it is 30mm you will need 30mm mounts your rifle i think has standard 11mm dovetails so look on jsr

P.s did you get the foresight off

Couldnt get the foresight off even with heating the barrel, and the rearsight comes off but it has a screwthread sticking up out of the gun with no perceiveable was of removing it, bit weird, so left it on atm, are these 56mm high mounts difficult to get or do you think my local gun shop might have them?

local gun shop should have the mounts.....
ask for high mounts
