Looking now for what I can come up with in 26mm rings.
First cure: sell the scope for $85 shipped to the lower 48.
Second solution: A set of very low 26mm rings.
Third solution: someone sell me a set of low to very low rings. Preferably dual dovetail and I'll open them up myself.
Seems like I just sold a set of what I needed.
I've got a set of Leupold dual dovetail to trade.......
