UTGAirgun Rings

I tend to look at reviews that aren't too negative or too positive with fancy words - I want real solid info not hype. With that being said, I highly recomend this product, and would buy it again without hesitation. Just make sure you got the right size and type of mount. These are for a 3/8" dovetail which many rifles have machined into the receiver of the gun. I'll try to explain a little below... I recently got back in to shooting after nearly 30 years. The scope on my 1970's rifle was inadequate for what I wanted, so I purchased a BSA Sweet 22 Scope from Amazon (Super Value - check them out), and needed to mount it - which meant new scope rings. I didn't understand all the options, and was confused by terms like Tactical, Tip-Off and Weaver etc. The difference is easy once you understand them, and in a nutshell, they come in two sizes for the Rail or dovetail, the smaller being about 3/8 of an inch where the scope ring (male Jaws) slides onto the rail or grove just like a dovetail in wood working ( this is a sketch of the female groves on the rifle __\||||/__ ),and the JAWS of the scope ring slip into the groves and a screw tightens down to grip the rifles female groves. The other style is designed to fit over a rail which is usually a separate flat piece almost 3/4 of an inch wide with 1/8" slots cut every 1/2" or so down its length looking end on, it might look something like this <|||||||>. The jaws of the scope ring's base are wider and much more stout than the one I described above. The latter scope rings will not slide onto a rail because they have a bolt that runs through the base which fits down into those slots I mentioned. So in order to install them, you must loosen the nut as much as possible without removing it, and then fit the fixed jaw onto the rail, and tip the ring down so the bolt in the base fits into the slot, and then the moving jaw can be re-tightened to keep the scope ring secure. Seems complicated, but once you fiddle with it a bit, you will see how simple it really is. I'm not an expert, but if you go on the internet and inquire, it will have plenty of pictures and info about the different types. As for the Quality - They are made from High Grade materials, and will stand the test of time. The fit of the scope in the ring is outstanding, and they provide all the Allen wrench tools you will need in the package. Something else to know is about the height of the rings. Generally Scope Rings come in Low - Medium - High, with the idea being that you want the shortest rings you can get by with so you achieve the following things: 1) The Objective Lens (on the business end)should not touch your rifle. 2) The scope is Tall or Short enough to see comfortably through the lens with your cheek resting on the barrel, otherwise you may suffer from what is called Scope Shadow. 3) If you are using the tallest rings, it will probably push your scope to its maximum adjustment and need to compensate by raising the rear ring (closest to your eye). If so, you may have to Shim the Scope by placing a thin piece of material under the rail. an old piece of 35mm film makes good shims, with the maximum being two thicknesses. Again look for more info on Shimming a Scope on the internet.

These scope rings work great on the narrow mounting rail often found on some .22 rifles and some airguns. The popular Henry H001 has such a rail, and I wanted to mount my Nikon scope on it. Many good scopes such as my Nikon have somewhat large objective lenses, which means that the rings need to be somewhat high-profile to elevate the scope sufficiently that the objective lens assembly is not touching the rifle. These rings did the job for me. The fit and finish of these rings is very satisfactory; they look terrific on my beautiful Henry carbine. My set of rings came with one each extra screw for both the rail mount hardware and the ring hardware (which were different screws). It also comes with all of the Allen wrenches that you need to mount the rings. The hardware is very easy to finger tighten and it is very easy to install your scope using these rings. The end result is a very sharp looking rig. I would buy these rings again and probably will, for my son's Henry rifle. RJB.

Perfect rings for my Gamo air rifle, just clears the mag holder with my OA scope.

Based on comments of reviewers, I ordered the high profile rings to obtain bolt handle lift clearance on a CZ 455. As it turned out, I didn't need the additional height and the scope (a Nikon 4.5-14x40) stands too high and looks a bit awkward on the gun and it requires me to lift my cheek weld point higher than I prefer.. I'm probably going to order another set with a little less height. That's not the fault of the rings at all. The rings fit and function fine and the price is certainly affordable. The mounting screws on the base holding the ring to the dovetail groove unfortunately are cheap, typical of much of the chinese manufactured stuff being sold, . It is very easy to strip out the head of the screw with the hex head wrench. The user wants to be really careful when tightening the ring base to the dovetail making sure the hex wrench is bottomed in the socket head screw and tightening slowly and gently.. I definitely would NOT put these rings on a rifle that recoils as I think they would probably not stay in place, but for a .22 or .17 rimfire they are fine.

Well made for the price.

Raised a 50mm scope. Worked out perfect since it has a stop pin installed in one of them. A good value.

These are sturdy, fit my airguns perfectly and hold zero

Great item if you need the rise up off the receiver or your scope is large , just wish they were "see thru " but am happy with the purchase

Good price, perfect fit, easy to install

Really like the quality of UTG products and these rings were no exception. Used on an air rifle.

It’ll do the Job

Well made, very solid. Would be useful if the company (or Amazon) would publish the saddle height. That is basically the height of the ring - the distance from the bottom of the ring to the point where it meets the receiver. For these rings that height is 21mm.

Well made. I like the choice of using the post in the rear ring for extra stability on an air rifle or not if on a 22 rimfire. I also appreciated the extra screws that were included, a nice touch. Strong, light weight, very satisfied.
