Scope ring help

**joeyj** · May 24th, 2013, 01:41 PM

I have a Browning Buck Mark and I ordered a rail off of Browning. My problem is I don't know what kind of rings to put on it. I ordered a set which I was told would fit a Pickatinny rail, which I believe Browning's is. When the rings arrived, the bolt is about a quarter inch in diameter and is too thick to let the rings bolt on. Do you know what kind of rings I need to get? The $25 price range or lower sounds good to me.

just checked my buckmark. no the rail is not a pickatinny rail. the slots are smaller and further apart. millett angle locks will work as well as weaver and tasco rings. millett would be my personal choice.

I checked out the milett website, and it seems like they sold out to another company, and when I read the reviews, seems like just about all of them were negative, only one or two gave a positive result. So Tuesday I'm going to call Weaver because they claim they have ones that fit. I'll let you know what I find out from them. Joe

apparently millett is now owned by bushnell. no big deal. as far as bad reviews go I have close to a dozen guns with their products on. rings and scopes as well. no problems so far. there is a review for ya. budget rings are just that, budget quality. weaver rings are common and easy to get, just a pita to use. word of advice follows. don,t make it harder than it has to be. good luck with your shopping. shoot straight, shoot often. red dog

Sounds like your rail is Weaver and your rings are picatinny...Picatinny is wider and you can use Weaver rings on a picatinny rail, but not vice versa.
