    Hawke precision steel mounts are good, as are Konus steel rings which are identical to the Hawke, I use the picatinny versions whenever possible.

    I am however slightly baffled as to why, if a medium mount gives you correct head position on other rifles, you suddenly want low mounts on this one ?

    The mount hight you need is dictated by where your natural hold position puts your eye, not what the objective bell size lets you use, or what "looks nice" in profile.

    I know you'll need dovetail fitting, but I have a set of these on my Impact, and they are very good

    or medium height

    You can get a pair of snap in weaver/picatinny to 9/11mm adaptors off that famous auction site for around £6..... on a tame HW77 they should be fine

    On a 77 stock also other scopes are 40mm should have made clearer.

    Hoping the lower scope will work well with the lower cheek comb of the 77.

    A 30mm scope is 3mm higher in the same height mounts from the base than a 1" scope. Generally a 30mm low is a similar centre height as a 1" medium mount to the centre .

    30 mm medium ring height

    Hawke 2 piece tactical 30 mm medium rings mounting a Hawke 4-16 x 44 mm IR, SF compact scope leaves less than 1/8" clearance. Added a leather cheek piece for my proper scope alignment on the HW95L.
