Taz77 Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 with the cantilever scope mounts... what kinda scope rings will fit on those? Quote
tucker301 Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 can·ti·le·ver n. A projecting structure, such as a beam, that is supported at one end and carries a load at the other end or along its length. A bracket or block supporting a balcony or cornice. The cantilever is machined to accept Weaver style rings in the cross slots. No bases are required. Click Here for a closer look Quote
mudhen Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Weavere Ringse are $8 at Basse Proe Shoppe..... mudhen - CA Quote
Taz77 Posted August 4, 2005 Author Posted August 4, 2005 well, i know what the cantilever mount is... i'm asking because the barrel is sitting in my room right now, and the only extra weaver rings i have now are bushnell's and they do not fit. the cantilever mount is much wider than the weaver. the mount is 7/8" at widest part and approximately 1/2" at the narrowest. it is also about 1/8" taller than what my rings were made for. basically larger in all dimensions than my weaver ring. now, is there a different style weaver that i do not know about? thanks Quote
tucker301 Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 You're not trying to use tip-off rings, are you? Otherwise, call Benelli and ask them. I was pretty sure it was cut for standard Weaver style rings. Quote
Taz77 Posted August 4, 2005 Author Posted August 4, 2005 honestly, i don't know what kind of rings i tried to use. i bought a bushnell scope w/ rings for my 10/22's "weaver" base, and they worked, but i ended up using a different set of rings for the 10/22. so the only set of rings i have now are from the bushnell. ok, i'm looking through the 10/22 manual, and i used these rings on a "weaver-style" scope base. is a "weaver-style" different from a weaver?

tucker301 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 http://ruger.com/Firearms/PDF/18.pdf See pages 30 and 31 for photos of Weaver Style and Tip Off. 10/22's are available both ways. A Weaver style ring will have a cross-bolt that fits into the grooves which run perpendicular to the length of the base. Click each for a ring sample. Tip-Off Weaver Style Both use a clamping style of mounting, but the Weaver Style is wider than the tip-off. Quote
Taz77 Posted August 5, 2005 Author Posted August 5, 2005 so a tip-off is basically a narrower version of a weaver? i know there's probably more to their differences, but i one brief description, is that accurate? from those 2 pics, i'd have to say the ones i have are more like the tip-off. and if the weaver are a little under twice as wide as the tip-off, it looks like the weaver is definately what i need. thanks tucker Quote
tucker301 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I do believe you've got it! Glad to help. Sorry I assumed you knew the difference up front. We all have to learn sometime or another. Enjoyed your city very much last year while on vacation. Didn't see too many place to hunt though Quote
tucker301 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 If you get really bored, and want to learn more about the various types of mounts, take a look at std (Leupold, Burris & Redfield) , dual dovetail, and QR (quick release) mounts. You can use the QR's on the Nova's cantilever, by the way. Quote
