Any idea what mounts these are?

[AirArmsDavid]

Just inherited these 30mm vertically split mounts. Any idea what make? Or are they el cheapo Chinese (my best guess)...

Thanks for your input.

warn?? mounts

As above Warme , possibly Maxima ?

 

[AirArmsDavid]

It's the dead straight sides I don't recognise. No waist to them, i.e. they don't go in where ring meets base.

Nikko Stirling I reckon.

They're not Warne ... look generic

 

[Gummage]

If you ever use them,(I wouldn't), tighten the dovetails before the top clams or you risk crushing the scope tube methinks.

Just had a look at a pair sat in a box and have to agree .
They're in a box for a reason , why would anyone copy them ? They're a crap design .

 

[AirArmsDavid]

There is a "stop" to theoretically stop you over tightening the rings...



...but I wouldn't trust this, especially if they're Chinese.
Scope just came to me today so I'll have to find a torx key and take the mounts off to check for prior numpty damage/crimping... fingers crossed.
I favour BKLs instead.

The Warne Maxima VS rings are actually very well made and fit rails properly ... problems arise when people don't tighten them in sequence, especially on cheaper scopes with thin walls, which WILL distort

Definitely not Warne, which are made using the sintered steel method and have a good weight to them - pukka Warne rings wouldn't show wear from being on the dovetail, they just look like cheapo Chinese knock offs.

I've got to agree , they're very well made . But , they're a bloody faff and I just don’t like the way they look . Yup , I like pretty , I am that shallow .

Probably Nikko Stirling Warne copies.
Definitely not Warne mounts .

Mounts off... no damage.
Phew!
BKL, here I come.
