    scope ring options for 13mm dovetail

    I've got a 1969 Weihrauch HW 30 MK II that I'm currently using with a small 2.5x20 scope mounted in Sportsmatch 13MM medium rings. Although of good quality and more than adequate for the job, I'd like to locate some 13mm rings with a lower height than the Sportsmatch I'm currently using which are listed as being .590 to the underside of the ring. These are currently the lowest available 13mm rings that are offered from Sportsmatch. Any replies would be helpful. Thank you

    Be very careful if you look at the BSA own-brand mounts. They’re supposed to have clamps that turn around to also accommodate 13mm dovetails, but the ones I have (single piece) don’t, as the position of the holes prevents it. They’re US made from very soft metal and have unusual threads to boot. Vector-Air suggest using BKL mounts for 13mm dovetails, but I’ve never used those on those dovetails so can’t comment if they work in practice.

    I used these on a 14mm rail BSA Challenger. They spread that far NP. A bit low if not for the rail with a 4x 32 ao but would be ok without the focus ring on a gun like an HW30. And the CCOP rings might work too but I haven't tried them yet. I want to. And they're inexpensive
