    3/8 rimfire to Weaver base

    Rather than just buying a new set of rings for the grooved 3/8 reciever I was thinking of using a base that would go from 3/8 rimfire to Weaver what do you use or should I just spring for new 1" 22 rings?

    You could use a DIP or BLK, but they will cost much more than new tip off rings.

      Just get new rings.
      Why add unnecessary height and weight?

        Some seem to think that the 3/8 dovetails do not hold a scope solid. I however had never had a problem using 3/8 dovetail mounts as long as they are properly installed..

        To each his own though..Piccatinny rail does look cooler though

        UTG also makes a cheap adapter..

          I'm looking at Burris signature rings for 3/8 rail, I need the high ones or the B-Square 3/8 to Weaver base's and low rings.

            I've got the UTG "One Piece" Integral Airgun mount on my Marlin 795's 3/8 dovetail.
            They work great and there is no way they are going to budge.
            They are the most suggested rings for the 795 so I would think that they would be highly advocated for any dovetail application.

              One of my problem is the rifle isn't a common one so I'm not seeing bases etc for it, looks like a universal ring or base is needed. Rifle is. Zastava MP22

                If it is a 3/8 dovetail milled into the receiver it does not matter how common the gun is.

                  True but some of the name brands have speciality made bases that fit that particular rifle, the Marlin 795 comes to mind.
                  Joe as you noted above DIP or BLK unless I'm missing something. The B-Square I mentioned is a universal base set.

                    If you go with a base it may matter depending on the gun. If you go with the tip off rings it will not matter at all. The rings are often better b ecause the base and Weaver style rings can start to look bulky and out of place if it is a slim gun or a small scope.

                    If yours ejects out the side I think the BLK would be fine. Cruise around a little on rimfirecentral.com and see what you find. Good Luck

                    I just noticed you are in SD, if you are near me I have DIP bases on two guns you could check out sometime.

                      Joe, may do that. Thanks.
                      Was just over to BLK website that's good looking stuff over there.

                        I ended up going with just rings, after looking at the bases again I think a combo of it and the rings would be to high.
