hi guys,

i bought this scope:

any help appreciated

Did it actually come with the mounts?
The page says no but the pics include it.
What you linked to is only the rail, you'd need something like this if it didnt come with it, though I think you need 20mm?
Someone else should be able to confirm the size needed.

it came with mounts, similiar to the ones you linked (and are in the pics)

the problem is the the maximum 'Bite' of the the clamp in the mounts i have is 12mm whereas the rail seems to be at least 20mm wide. is there any conversion kit out there? something the locals (tony etc) might have?

I've never heard of one I'm afraid, but there is a good chance one of them will have the right size mount rings and you should be able to attach them to the scope?

Slightly off topic, what do you think of the actual scope itself? I got a different one from them and I'm pretty disappointed by it

could it be that you have the mounts for an air rifle as instead of RIS sized mounts?

You should be able to unscrew the mounts on it and then attach something like this:

That should do the trick but don't sue me if the rings don't fit the scope.

feck it, i'm gonna drop into tony and see if he has something that fits.

mcgovern: for the money, its an excellent scope
