This may help someone with the same problem I had: I wanted a scope on my 9417 but when I put the scope where I wanted it for eye relief, the front ring coincided with where the scope turrets were. I had to rearrange things and ended up with a scope too far back, or both rings between the eyepiece and the turrets.
I ordered a set of BKL Technologies Rimfire DOVETAIL SCOPE RINGS (Black 1" Offset Rings), from Brownell's; item #300-000-002AA, that sell for $35. They are on page 367 of catalog #60.
These raise the scope up a little higher than I would like in a perfect world, but the main thing is, they put the scope forward far enough to not be too close to my eye. And they support the tube from in front AND behind the turrets, so it looks right.

You got any pictures of that set up? I have problems scoping the 9422's also. We have 2 scoped up at home but I'm not 100% hapy with how I had to go about it.
one of mine has the weaver dovetail plate that I so affectionately refer to as (the diving board)...
post some pics if you can.

I can't. Just move your front ring one inch forward of what would normally be all the way forward on the receiver, and you'll see what it can do for you. In my case, it moved the scope forward enough to be usable w/o having to pull my head back on the stock.
At one time I tried both regular rings between the eyepiece and the turrets, but that was just butt-ugly.
Whoops! Make that one and five-sixteenths of an inch that the front ring offsets to the front...I just measured it.

I see. Yeah i've done the same with both rings between the eyepiece & turrets, it's ugly as hell. I've got the weaver slide on plate on my own 9422M with full sized weaver type rings & the plate allows me to mount the forward ring aheas of the turret but it's got some spring to it (the diving board thing I mentioned) so that bugs me. It's always held zero this way but it still bothers me because it's not rock solid up front. My son't 9422M has rimfire sized ring clamps that grab the factory dovetail & we did manage to get his little 1.5-4x scope mounted with the turret between the rings but as he gets bigger he's going to need that scope to move forward so I'll be checking into a couple of sets of these BKL offsets.
Thanks.
Dave

Not the best scope on the market,but the little Simmons 22mag scope works well on my 9422. I think it matches the capability of the gun,accuracy wise.They are limied on the amount if windage adjustment they have however. It comes with Weaver type rings and a base taht mounts in the doevetails

Weaver makes a Top mount base for the 9422&9417 win. It's a TO-10 It slides over the 3/8" grove it's about $10 I have them on my winchesters.

That's what I've been calling "the diving board"
My forward ring on that weaver plate is hangin out there a ways & the plate has some spring to it. I't been working for me for about 6 years or better now but I'd like to rig something up that's a bit more stout.

Northern Dave I have never had a problem with either my 9422 or 9417 the weaver slide snug on the rail and 2 screws put in top. I use 1" 22 rings as you have a longer rail with them. Have a Leupold vx1 2-7 on 9417 and a nikon prostaff 4x on 9422.
