I see Leupold markets some rings specifically for 11mm dovetail (presumably 1").</div></div>

I guess you didn't bother checking the listed diameters. Leupold makes both 1" and 30mm diameter Sako rings. I know that the Leupold "Sako" rings are an 11mm dovetail "11mm Dovetail" was printed on the package I was looking at.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Michael Aos</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What I meant is Leupold markets something called an "rimfire" rings, specifically for an 11mm dovetail.

OK, gotcha. The rimfire rings you are referring to are called Leupold "Ringmounts". PN #54231 and PN 5423<span style="font-weight: bold">4</span> are Leupold Ringmounts. The first link I provided before takes you directly to the Leupold Ringmount page, and if you had scrolled down the page you would see that PN 54231 and PN 54234 are both listed under <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"RIMFIRE RINGMOUNTS & HEIGHT"</span></span>. The respective descriptions are <span style="font-weight: bold">"RM RF 11mm Medium - 1.00"</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold">"RM RF 11mm High - 1.25"</span>.
Did you notice that the photo depicting the
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Leupold 54231</span></span> shows that the bottom of the mount is concave? (This is a bad example, as the photo may or may not be the correct photo). Anyway, the concave cut is probably to allow for the radius of a round receiver tube when the grooves are machined directly into the receiver top, which is very common on air rifles. I own or have owned several British and German air rifles, as well as some Kimber of Oregon .22s' that had the dovetail grooves machined directly into the receiver top. They have to use rings with concave bottoms or rings with tall bases to clear the receiver.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Michael Aos</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I see the 1" and 30mm Sako rings, and they sound PERFECT. Thanks again for the tip. It just concerns me a little that they specifically state they're not for use on a Sako 22LR, because I believe the Sako 22LR are an 11mm dovetail... </div></div>
I surmise that you will be using the rings on a Sako .22 (you never actually mentioned what rifle the rings are going-on, and I did ask specifically). If you look closely at both photos of
Leupold PN 51036 you can see that they do not have the concave bottom - I'm guessing that that is why Leupold's Fit Guide states <span style="font-style: italic">"not for use with the Sako Finnfire or other Sako .22 rimfire rifles"</span> (they won't).
It appears that you may be out of luck. However, I would still call Leupold and see if they have someting that might work. Be sure to tell them what rifle you will be mounting the rings on though.
