Vintage Bushnell Scope Base?

Can't find anything on line related to this Bushnell system. I take it this is a 'roll-off' design as you indicated that tips out of the way for irons in the event this is necessary. I have no rings, so I surmise these bases are worthless to anyone at this point. Maybe someone will chime in with a description of how the rings attach to the bases and how they operate.

I miss the fish, but I do like Mr. Capp. :)

I have a Weaver #153 ring/base combo that fits win 88 and 100 and a Sako finnwolf.
The rings on this set up attach to the base via one screw through each hinge. Quick and easy to flip up for use of the irons.
The screws through the hinges can be used to set the resistance of the effort required to flip the scope.
 
Thanks again, gents. Now that I know what these bases are, and how the the pivot system operates, I just need a box of rings to go with the random box of bases I acquired. Yes, literally a box of them all nicely packaged NOS in BUSHNELL branded packs. I must assume, from what has been noted here, that these are, in fact, weaver bases, but marketed at the time under the Bushnell brand name. Very handy looking contraptions that I hope to try out on some of my hunting rifles...

So...at this point, it's a box of rings I need. :)
