Marlin 917v

[444shooter]

I have a Tasco 6-18x Varmint that I am trying to mount on this rifle and bought a set of Burris high rings and the objective is still slightly touching the barrel. Any other suggestions? Who makes a higher ring?

i have the same rifle with a bushnell 6-18x50 mil and i used the highest millet angle locks they make and it clears.

Where can a person buy Millet rings? I haven't seen any around for some time.

 

[444shooter]

My bad. Scope is a 6-24x42mm Target/Varmint

le baron has them if you have trouble finding them send me a message i can get them to you.by the way i had the first generation 444t.the one with the high comb and the straight grip. one of the guns i most regret selling, 240 gr nosler hp and a good load of 4198 and i used it on groundhogs.

Is your scope a 40mm or 42mm OB? I checked out LeBarons and seems the highest is "high". I bought a set of Burris high and scope OB still touches the barrel.
I just bought a 444P and haven't got out to the range. Used to have a 444S many years ago and loved it. Makes for a great conversation piece when at the local range

Maybe you got sent Medium instead. With my BKL sport utility rings in Medium, I have lots of clearance with my 917VSF, and my Tasco 6-24x42.

What are BKL rings? Is that the name of the company?

Edit : Are those B-Square?

 

[cz452shooter]

Sorry, yes I meant B-sqare

BKL also makes a great ring. And yes, that is the company name. IMHO, much better then B-sqare. But they don't fit the Marlin.

I am assuming that you are using the included weaver style bases and not the dovetail?

 

[RancheroMan]

10-4 on the weaver bases.

 

[444shooter]

Picked up a set of B-Square high sport utility rings. Will try these with the Weaver bases and post my results. Fingers crossed

 

[RancheroMan]

How'd ya make out???

 

[444shooter]

All sorted out now. Rings are perfect.
