Scope mounts for Umarex Zelos?

[jde727831]

I purchased this scope kit from Amazon for my Zelos.

• • Bundle Includes: Hawke Sport Optics Vantage 4-12x40AO Mil Dot Riflescope / Hawke Sport Optics Match Mount 1" 2 Piece Weaver Medium Riflescope Rings

It seems to be decent scope, but I think the rings are not tall enough for proper eye relief. Should I just buy higher mounts or is there an attachment I should buy to elevate the medium rings? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073DJGYW2...…

To be simple try Westhunter rings on amzon.
Plenty of options on height, adjustable, even colors .
Cheap at around $30. I have 6 or 8 sets.
Got another set today.

I like the Westhunter Adjustable Rings.

Usually dont have to worry about height, just set them to what you need. Small level too. And they come in colors not just black.

These are the 34mm and the gun needed no adjustment. The 34 has inserts for 30mm and 25mm.

As for scope, I am really pleased with the CVLife BearSwift FFP 5-25x56
Overpriced on Amazon and direct from CVLife (Tariffs) but i got my last two via Alibaba without tariffs.

Clear optics, tight towers. My only complaint is the paralax knob really needs a wheel as it is as tight as the azimuth and elevation.

Last time I wanted to change rings I searched through the ones I already had. I did not find exactly what I wanted but it helped me figure out about what height to buy. I you have some that came with a scope or something you can try you might want to start there. If they were too high you could try putting a shim on the comb to see how much shorter to get but since they are too low it would be a guess. But if you can see through the scope at all you probably need 0.25 inches or less added height. But you might only need 1/8th.
