Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters S&K Scope Mounts

Plumdog,

The difference between the Conetrol rings and the S&Ks is while the Conetrols are 3-piece, the S&Ks are a single "strap" of steel, thin enought wrap around the scope tube, which makes them easier to install--though more so for some people than others. I never had much difficulty with Conetrol rings, but some do.

The Gentry rings were even thinner than the S&Ks, saving a little more weight.

That’s sharp. You’re making me think….

here's the winner!

They are gloss.

Conetrols...

"I see" said the Blind Man. The "invisible" joint in the Conetrol rings is craftsmanship you don't see too much of these days. Do you have to spread the S&K ring a little to get it around the scope?

Yes--which is exactly what was needed with the Gentry rings.

Never had any difficulty or problems doing that with either, even with rings used on more than one rifle--or when changing scopes on the same rifle.

I have some Gentry rings, but no bases. Will SK bases fit Gentry Rings?

I doubt it, but have never tried.

Had them on a FN 257 Rob.Reminded me of an oil filter wrench.

Beautiful rifle you posted, the rings and bases look great.

To answer your question; I initially plan on putting them on a Remington Model 7 & 700. Both of these rifles are non-magnum calibers.

I have S&Ks on several rifles ranging from .22s to .340 Weatherby. Never had an issue with them and I like the weight and looks…..for what that’s worth. I live about 20 miles from where they make them and know the owner pretty well - he is an extremely knowledgeable and talented machinist - and a “gun guy” so he has a lot of general knowledge about many different type of firearms. He has helped me out with many gun related issues (requiring machining and metallurgy) over the years and seems to like the challenge. All this and he’s just a good guy!

I think you’ll be pretty happy with them.

I had a set on a custom 700 I built. I had them cera coated too. Never a problem. Very slick.
I use cheap Weaver type stuff now, only because I like to put a backup peep on my rifles, and quick detach those S&K's are not.

Awesome rings with a super clean appearance.

Thanks all, I'm convinced.

The rings on my Pete Grisel "Mauser" were pretty thin.

S &K Rings and mounts



Best looking things out there and rock solid.

In use on home made camo'd Abolt 260 Rem holding a Vx-3.

Nice lightweight rig with a rubbery slogan sling makes carrying a pleasure.

Love the S&K rings and two piece mounts , I have 19 Kimber rifles and they all have these rings and mounts ,I have never had one slip , a few have stainless bases and stainless rings but S&K have discontinued these , Rock solid set up on any bolt action !!!!!!!

This picture is why I ordered a set for my .300 Super Grade

Understand that, very svelte.
