I got similar off Amazon, work fine for flat top rails, not so good on round. I started using one piece dovetail mounts on my rimfires, I prefer them for solid mounting.
 
Hitzy I have never used a one piece dovetail mount. They sure look solid.

95% of the time I will be using a Leupold VX-2 3-9x33 EFR and Burris Signature .22 rings.
These rings will mount directly to the Zephyr's receiver.

I like rails too.
I use a DIP rail on my CZ 452, & a Midwest Industries rail on my Ruger-Kidd 10/22
The rail adapters are for the times when I take the Zephyr to the outdoor range.
I plan to try the 50 yard challenge with my Sightron 36x. I do not want to use rimfire rings on this scope.
The reason being, I want to be able to use the Sightron on all three of my rifles.

Are these the ones from Amazon to which you're referring?

I ordered similar from ebay and liked the results just fine. In fact, in one case I could not get 11mm rings high enough for the application, but with the adapters plus high Weaver style rings I got just enough height for the scope bell to clear the barrel. The whole rig tightens down just fine on the grooved receiver.

Sorry I bought the last one when I saw this thread as I had been looking and all other dealers were out of stock. :redface:

The stock is a bit more blonde than I would have liked, but beggars cannot be choosers.

Well I'm glad the thread helped you out.
Could you please give us your Impressions, likes, dislikes, or better yet a picture of some of the groups you shot with it?
Is your barrel threaded at the crown? or is that something only offered as an option on us models.
I am also curious to know what scope you mounted on your Zephyr II?
 
Well D.I.P. Diversified Innovative Products have a trigger guard for the Zephyr. They cost $150.00 usd.

I called Kinney's and asked about these. He said he could get them but was unsure of the price.
DIP had them listed for $135.00. A number of hours later DIP's price jumped to $150.00.

DIP does not ship to Canada, but Kinney's does. The trigger guard will cost you $170.00 usd plus shipping.

My muzzle is not threaded, and I did not want that feature because it spoils the appearance of that nicely fluted barrel. There is a thread on Rimfire Central about this rifle, and one of the members was unimpressed with the appearance of the muzzle protector since it is smooth and shiny compared to the matte finish of the spiral barrel. The members showed some photos of his barrel with muzzle protector and it looked ugly. Not sure if threaded muzzle is a Canadian option or not.

I purchased an older used compact 4-12 X 32mm Burris gloss with AO for a Sako 78 rifle back a few months ago. The problem was when you zoomed on it there were dark shadows around the edge of vision that appeared. I sent it back for repair, but was advised it was not repairable due to lack of parts for the old model. The said it qualified under the lifetime warranty and were sending me replacement new scope from their current models. Today I received a new Burris 4.5-14 X 32mm with AO in matte as replacement. The matte scope should match the matte finish on the Steyr nicely.

Not sure about scope to put on the Sako now? I have a gloss Burris 4x32 with AO that will likely wind up on there until I get something higher power.

Will let you know more when I actually get the rifle in hand and have a chance to look it over.

When I eventually get around to shooting it I will let you know how it performs. I have heard a common complaint with the rifle is closing the bolt on a round in the chamber. I suspect that is due to the way it is set up with close tolerance head spacing, and will likely result in good accuracy based on experience with tight tolerance centre fire rifles.

Just to let you know it may take a while for me to actually test this rifle since I have more than one rimfire rifle sitting in lockup that has not yet fired a round.
