Hi all,
I am looking for scope mount/ring recommendations for mounting a scope onto a new Walther LGU I purchased recently. I put on a set of BKL-257 rings that I had in a drawer and discovered that the dovetail grooves on this rifle are very shallow. There is very little contact area with these rings on this Walther compared to these same rings on my rimfire target rifles. So now, I guess I understand why there are a number of one-piece mounts sold for air rifles.
I have looked online at the RWS Lockdown, Diana Bullseye ZR, Beeman 5039, Sportsmatch Dampa, BKL-360 one-piece, and BKL double-strap or triple-strap rings. Someone had written about mounting the RWS Lockdown onto their LGV and they discovered they didn't need the droop compensation built into the RWS mount. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? I am leaning toward the BKL one-piece or BKL triple-strap rings.
Any advice appreciated-thanks in advance,
Brian
