Claret_DabblerTry Warne QD's. The low version will easily clear a 50mm scope with a 30mm tube, mediums or high should sort you out.
I have a spare set of mediums if you are badly stuck. I am not too far north of the border.

djpaintlesYou need a set of extra-high's like the ones used for AR-15's. They are designed to fit a flat rail like the Steyr Tactical Elite. Badger Ordinance makes some excellent ones as do several others. I'm not sure which ones you'll have access to in Ireland but if you look for AR-15 mounts you'll be on the right track.............................DJ

DJ, this is priceless. It is only a few years since looking for AR mounts here in Ireland (north or south) would have got a guy 10 years in the pokey.

The world has changed.

djpaintlesClaret, I regret that I've never been fortunate enough to travel to Ireland. Perhaps someday I'll be able.
Your post makes me curious, I'm completely ignorant of what it might be like to own firearms in Ireland. What's it like?
I know places in Germany I could probably have bought them off the shelf, but I don't know that much about the rest of Europe and England..........................DJ
