How to Choose the Right Rings and Rails for Your Riflescope

Information needed to choose riflescope rings

Mounting your riflescope correctly is key to getting the best performance from your setup. With so many options for rings and rails, it can feel overwhelming, but we're here to help!

Rings come in various sizes to suit your scope’s tube size, height requirements, and the type of attachment needed. Some rifles have a 3/8" or 11mm dovetail, while others use brand-specific dovetails or come with a Picatinny rail. You might even want to add a rail to your rifle to use Picatinny/Weaver rings.

What We Need for Ring Suggestions:

Before we can provide the best recommendation, here’s the information we’ll need from you for ring suggestions:

  • Rifle model: Exact make and model.
  • Attachment type: Measure your dovetail across the top in mm, or let us know if you have a Picatinny rail.
  • Scope details: Tube size and objective lens size.
  • Specific requests: Desired ring height, quick detach options, bubble level, or material preferences (aluminium or steel).
  • Budget: Let us know your price range.

What We Need for Rail Suggestions:

  • Rifle model: Again, the exact make and model.
  • Mounting details: Measurements of any pre-drilled holes.
  • Specifications: If you need the rail to be a certain length or other requirements.
  • Budget: Tell us what you're aiming to spend.

Once we have this information, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help you find the perfect fit for your rifle and scope!
