Rifle Scopes 34mm rings?

[orkan]

Anyone have a line on a dealer with 34mm rings in stock? Looking for badger or seekins.

Just bought a premier 5-25x56 ... but I'm having a hard time finding rings.

thanks fellas

LO sells the Barrett and Seekins 34 mm rings I believe.
Triad has the Badger.

I stock 7-8 diffferent Badger rings in 34mm. All the 34mm are listed near the end of the Badger Scope Rings section of the Triad site. Inventory is real time, so if the site sells it, it should be in stock.

Liberty was out...

Thanks triad.

I assume those ones are what I'm after for use with a 5-25x56 premier?

I tried Surgeon for the first time recently, they are nice and have a fancy little bubble level built into them. $200 a pair though.

Badger USMC rings work great with that scope, but CKA had to trim his front Butler Creek because of his truck axle barrel

They are 1.125" so you will have that extra C-hair of room for the 56mm.

So ya just bought a Premier then?
Good on ya, I'm just sayin'...

To answer your question, I got Seekins Highs (0.97") from Scott for my 5-25. On par with 427's comments, I need to trim the BC front to fit it between my #7 truck axle. So you may want to focus on finding those taller Badgers (1.125") TRIAD mentioned if your barrel contour is beefy...

Re: 34mm rings?

Well, I ordered the 1.0 tall ones earlier. I have a lawton action with a 20moa rail, the top of which is .430" above the action. I'm unsure of my barrel contour. Its relatively heavy. 18" tube that starts out at 1.25 and is .900 at the end.

What do you think? The rail make up for a bit of height?

... and yes, I just bought a premier 5-25.

Re: 34mm rings?

Ok, I just took some measurements. I had some nightforce 1" tall rings around, so I put a leupold LR 5-20x50 30mm tube scope in there and checked for clearance. There was .30" of clearance between the objective and the barrel. The OD of that scope is 58mm.

Triad, tell you what. Send me whatever you think will work. I have an AICS 2.0 so I'm not concerned about cheek weld. I can move it if needed. I don't want to have to cut a notch in my scope cap.

Re: 34mm rings?

I have a Surgeon action with integral 20moa rail. Best I can measure with the scope mounted, the height of the rail where the action and rail appear to 'join' just forward of the bolt handle, I meaured 0.35". So you've got some extra height to work with right from the get go...

Took some pics of the clearance above my fluted #7 Broughton...
Without cap , measured .060"gap with feeler gauge:

With cap jussst barely touching the side of the top flute:

If the barrel were not fluted, the clearance would be even less...
