Anyone got some 26mm rings?

[Branxhunter]

I picked up a Kahles Wien 3-9 scope over the weekend which hopefully will turn up tomorrow. Will post some pics when it does.

I am looking around to see if anyone has some 26mm rings collecting dust. Will probably mount on my Parker Hale .243, but could go on a number of rifles I have. I would be interested in turn-in rings like Leupold, Redfield etc, or Hilver stud rings, or even Ruger rings.

What ever you do, don't try and ream out a set of 25mm rings with a clutch cylinder hone, it wont work and just stuffs the hone. Lynx optics still make and stock them, do you want a contact link, Ill get it for you if you do ??

Cheers Camel. I had a look on the Lynx site but didn't see any. I have the number and might give them a ring.

I just had a look and cant find them either, I may have given you a bum steer there mate, but it wont hurt to ring him. He is a very good bloke to deal with and gives very prompt service. If you are still stuck, I can give the LGS in Griffith a ring, they had a shelf full of Lynx, Hilver and Tasco branded rings there when I was over there last. Pity I didn't have my old Brno back from the gunsmith in Dubbo, it has 26mm rings on it for the old Kahles scope on it, you could have had them. I dunno where the bloke gets his pricing from that is on Used Guns, from memory that is around twice the price for them.

Spoke to Malcolm from Lynx - he has a few sets of medium height rings at $140 per set plus postage.

Wowsers, it must be the extra .6mm reaming that puts the price up there. My last set of rings that were medium 1 inch were only around 80 bucks. Would you like me to try Griffith, it may help.

[Branxhunter]

That would be great.

I haven't been to Griffith since about 1997. I spent some time laser grading to set up new irrigation bays and drainage on a place on the southern side of the river near Carathool.

Turned up yesterday - very happy. Some minor marks on the tube but nothing I am concerned about. Lenses are in perfect condition.

Just pinched this link from another forum in a thread about someone wanting to buy some 26mm rings, I haven't looked yet, but it may be some help

I notice the power ring in the photo shows 8x 9x 3x.............how does that work

[Branxhunter]

No different to any other 3-9x scope - it is wound up to the stop at 9x in the photo, wind it back around through 8x etc to the stop at 3x. Can't go directly from 9x to 3x.

Thanks BH, I've been reflecting on this for a while..........and have no excuse for the dumb comment except to say I should have done the thinking first
