Did i get wrong scope for Sig522?

[jagga]

I bought this scope from Amazon. It came with mounting rings

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KOSB34

The rings look like this (EDIT -> corrected link)

http://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Optics-Riflescope-Picatinny-Weaver/dp/B003GSUM5Q/ref=sr_1_19?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1323492913&sr=1-19

but it seems like they dont fit on the sig522.. what rings do I need?

[0351USMC]

if sig has Picatinny rail,weaver style ring should fit

[dirtykoala]

how are they not fitting? scope rings too narrow for your rail?

[jagga]

Yes, this is the problem I see. The rings base not wide enough

is the ring base not wide enough to clamp both sides of the rail?

[dirtykoala]

i had the same type of clamp on my 10/22 scope, it wouldnt fit the normal rail, but the 10/22 rail has a thinner base that it did clamp to.


yes, it looks like you have the wrong rings, they also look like they are pretty high for the scope that you got.

the best thing that ive found to do is bring your gun and scope to your local gun shop and have them get you the right rings for your gun and scope combo.

looks like you have tip off rings.
the amazon picture and your picture dont match.

Do I need to buy this adapter?

you have a 1 inch tube scope, nice and common so rings are easy to get.
try opticsplanet and look for weaver or picatinny

[jagga]

can you recommend me a link? There is too many options here

midway usa
Weaver 1" Tactical 4-Hole Skeleton Picatinny-Style Rings Matte High

[pennys dad]

Walmart carries them as well or depending on the area you are in go to a gun shop

[jagga]

Ok guys. I think I'll take the scope and gun to the gunshop and get some advise there.

I'm still trying to figure out what kind of rings I got with the scope (meaning what Style) and what I should have gotten?

You got tip-off rings for a dovetail on a "standard" rimfire rifle.

You need picatinny rings(that match the diameter of the scope tube, most likely 1" in your case). The description for the scope you purchased does not indicate what type of rings it comes with, so it likely came with the correct ones but you just need something different(picatinny mount rings).
