    Yeah.. they do go on funny a... But once on there on. I think they are a bit of a revelation to be honest, I'd totally given up looking for mounts lower than sportsmatch & I bought these thinking they were medium hight. Its just a bonus that I now don't have to get the cheek piece raised il just pop this here lovley meopta artemis 4x32 on top instead!

    they look about 1.5mm lower than the sportsmatch ?

    Would be quicker and easier to just let your stubble grow to lift your cheek off the stock the same distance
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I've stumbled upon a set of 11mm dovetail mounts that are high quality, center champing (no crossover), low mounts that are lower than a sportsmatch low mount! and they won't break the bank at under £30!
    Pics:

    See links below

    Link to them on Nikon's site: (please mods apologies if this isn't allowed please remove if so)

    As you can see the push a 32mm scope on my 77 right down low enough for me to use the STD 77 stock which is designed for open sights! Yes get in!! I'm so dead chuffed.. I now cannot wait to plonk a 2-7 on this rifle & have some fun!!

    Had to let you all know.
    The mounts are Nikon A series rimfire mounts & they are advertised as medium 20-44mm objectives. (how the f@#& you fit a 44 in these I'm not sure!).

    This really does open a door for all those die hard 77 lovers and all those struggling with comb hight issues.
    Yippee!!!

    All the best
    Rhys
    Thanks for sharing, I have been looking for low mounts for my Pro Elite CS600 for years. The Tyrolean stock is very comfortable but demands low mounted optics.

    How's that then.... Clamping from the middle means that both sides are equal and the gap in the middle changes with variable sizes in mounting rail, as apposed to the gap between the clamp & the body on the side of the mount on regular style mounts which shifts the whole thing sideways depending on the rail width......... I will try the old reversal trick just to see if what you say is true but I cant see it myself.... Watch this space.!

    only by mounting them back to back and feeling if theres a lip same as normal mounts,ive never been a big fan of centre clamps,as removing the scope and replacing it becomes a pain,setting up eye position.

    Lol.. yes Jon.. I have to say though that 1.5mm thicker hair would really be quite something and an upgrade in facial hair trimming equipment, to lightweight gardening equipment might be required!!
    But in all seriousness the lower mounts do seem to make a big difference to me & my head alignment to be honest....
    Its my beautiful high cheek bones
