I'm looking for the best scope mount for this rifle. It is a 22 WMR and has a grooved receiver that accepts weaver style rings. The problem is that when my rimfire scopes are mounted with a ring on each side of the adjustment knobs the scope is positioned too far to the rear. When I place both rings behind the adjustment knobs the scope position is OK but I'm concerned about this damaging the scope plus it looks kinda weird. Any ideas?

Weaver Tip-Off rings are a little wider than other rings for grooved .22 receivers (that is, wider in the dimension that is longitudinal with the scope tube), so they take up a little more room than, say, a Leupold, Burris, or Millet ring. This is minimal, though, perhaps a quarter inch or less, so switching rings isn't going to solve your problem. To alleviate your problem, you're going to have to go to a different scope than has the adjustment turrets in a substantially different place.

TGT I purchased the Weaver TO-10 base that slides directly onto the 3/8" grooved receiver and attaches with set screws. It's only about $6 and you can mount your scope correctly. If you can't find one you can call their customer service 1(800) 635-7656

Silvertip, how much extra length (forward of the where the grooves stop on the receiver) does the TO-10 give you? I did find the base on another site. Does it just slide onto the grooves and the set screws fix it in place? Will it allow a regular rimfire scope to be mounted far enough forward so that the eyepiece is not way back?

TGT It will give you about 2" extra length, Yes it slides into the grooves and the set screws hold it. Yes, you can mount a regular rimfire scope far enought forward. I put a swift 3x9x40 on mine with 1" rimfire rings. It does accept either detachable top mount rings or tip-off rings. BUY ONE you'll never be sorry.

Thanks for the info Silvertip. I ordered one today.
