26 mm Rings?
- Thread starter cosmic
- Start date
Not a lot of folks that still make 26mm as far as I can see. Some that may still for a weaver base are:
Lynx will (apparently now on special order) - they are nicely made steel rings
EAW for sure make a 26mm ring - used the quick detach and they fit a 26mm tube fine (say they are 1"/26mm - but in reality they are closer to 26mm and will secure - somewhat - a 1" inch tube ... you may need a little bit of brass shim if the scope is 1", heavy and recoil stiff) they are very nicely made steel rings and VERY pricey.
Talley - I believe
and not for Weaver but still Very nice ... Conetrol make 26mm. I don't own (yet) any Conetrol rings but will for sure one day!! They are very nicely made.
(Despite what folks say - I have not had happy experience putting a 26mm scope in a 1" ring...and have tried both steel and aluminum tubes fwiw)
(btw - Kesselring used to make a 26mm ring out of aluminum but overall pretty poor quality fwiw) I think I may have come across others ....?

Cosmic....putting the 1" rings on a 26mm tube will result in crushing damage when caps are tightened. It's an expensive lesson and one I experienced with a 4-10X Pecar. You can get bases and rings for your rifle/scope combination like Parker Hale, EAW, and so forth. Ron
... yes apparently I have and my mind is only partly gone Cosmic -- as I look here at home I discovered I also have a set of rings from B-Square labeled "Interlock" ring system and on the back say:
#10226
26MM RING
Adjustable
STD. DOVETAIL
Blue
These are set up for a weaver style base - unfortunatley a quick search of B-Square's site doesn't show them listed - but worth a call.
I will eventually put a Zeiss (Jena) 26mm in it and stick it on something deserving.....
