    Hillver mounts here, Dave: http://gunshop-eb.com/Hillvermounts.php

    I've not used that shop myself, so caveat emptor, but I do have a pair of these:

    1" Med 4686N Junior Stainless Finish up to 44mm Objective £24-95
    Mine are old ones, in steel, and look exactly the same as pictured... mine came boxed as "Tasco World Class" mounts, but they're stamped "HILLVER" underneath.

    The black ones from that shop look cheap @ £15.

    The £15 Hillvers aren’t airgun mounts.

    They are just rings, you also need the base unit listed below it for the appropriate firearm and you screw them to the gun.

    They aren’t dovetail fitting.

    Apologies if you already knew this

    They do kinda look too cheap to be true...

    Ah sorry

    The first ones are separate rings and bases.

    Those would be fine...

    Good find

    It was a good shop, but believe it has shut down
