What rings for 50 cal disc elite?

[prostreetcamaro]

WTF I just placed an order with SWFA for the warne base and rings and they just sent me an email that they are backordered. So now I have rings that dont work that need to be sent back AND the correct rings and base are on backorder. Anybody know where I can get the warne base and rings that actually has them in stock? I want to get this thing sighted in and work up a load before the season comes in in a couple weeks.

Both the Warne rings and bases are backordered? I'd go with Chuck's suggestion then.

Then get the Warne Rings. What scope are you putting on? For anything with a 44 mm objective or smaller I'd go low rings since the bases are so high. Over that I'd go medium.

Hey man, if you don't want the bases that I included on your Elite can you mail them back to me? I might get the urge to buy another Knight some day.

actually Chuck, I was really hoping that that link you posted was some sort of exception to the m826's being out of stock. it says that they are discontinued by the manufacturer. i dont know if thats true or if theyre just backordered. i have some of those s45 weaver's, and if there's no other choice i guess thats what i will have to live with. be aware that s45's and warne low rings are still as high or higher than warne mounts w/ warne medium rings. that really sux about the m826's, i need some for this little wolverine that i have yet to shoot ...

Sure if I end up not useing them I will gladly mail them back to you. What bases are they?


And thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate it!

Patrick the scope is a bushnell dusk to dawn with 40mm objective fixed power.

 

[Patrick White]

Go low then. The mediums have enough clearance on a 44 MM objective and super low bases where the rings almost tough the barrel. With higher bases the lows should work just fine.

Just curious to know if any of you have tried the Millett Grabber QD rings?

Midsouth has a better price.

 

[Patrick White]

Sorry, UC. The only QR mounts I've used are the Leupold QR and the Warnes. I've used a variety of fixed mounts though.

 

[prostreetcamaro]

Now I am confused. Got the gun today and went ahead and tried the leupold base and rings and the base seems to fit fine and tight. I noticed a slight gap so i looked at my other guns and they to have a slight gap with different bases. Is that bad? I have never had a problem before with my other guns?

 

[Patrick White]

How much is a slight gap? Mine was over 1/16" in the center of the base. It should fit snug to the barrel.

I will have to try and measure it. Whats the best way to measure something like that?

 

[Patrick White]

I eyeballed it.

I just put a pair of the Leupold bases and rings on a new master hunter and there is no gap at all. Maybe the people who had problems received bad bases. I have weaver 45s on my other knight and think the Leupolds fit better.

Just for future reference...

Weaver Grand Slam S15
Model: REMINGTON 541S, 541T
Item No. 928910C
$3.45 for quantities of 5 or more.
Retail Price: $4.15

Shouldn't those work on a Knight? If so, I believe they are the older Grand Slams made by Warne.

Or Leupold changed it eventually. I got mine in 2002 so that's possible.
