I need a good pair of low, blued steel rings for a really nice Marlin 81.
Can't find any locally so mail order it is. Looking for recommendations.
Some problems I'm trying to avoid:
1. Rings that don't allow for the receiver crown. I don't know how any sane company can sell 3/8 dovetail rings that won't mount on your typical .22 but some do exactly that. I've got some Leupolds and they fail for that reason. They are exactly what I want but you can't mount them on a .22 with a round receiver. Like say a Marlin, Mossberg, Ruger American, Anschutz, Savage, Remington, Winchester, etc....
2. Thin sheet metal "clamps". I want something substantial to grip the dovetail. Thick sheet metal is OK though.
3. Great big ugly screw heads on the dovetail screws. They look ridiculous.
4. Extra wide rings. This is only a problem because I'd like to mount my scope a bit more forward and I don't know of any extended rimfire rings. Although Weaver may have made some back in the day.
