I'm thinking a Short Mag Burris scope and these rings :-)

Are you talking about for smoothing up all the roughness? If so, I would start with lapping them a bit first and see how they clean up.

Usually that type of mount is silver soldered to the scope.

I think it requires a steel tube scope that can be disassembled before soldering the rings to the tube. I am not 100% sure about this.
I do not know if epoxy would hold.
You could have new "regular" rings made to fit the claw bases.

PS: I have a rifle with "half rings"and claw mounts, so I am familar with the system.

Call JJ Perodeau at www.champlinarms.com.

My smith starts with the highest Leupold turn-in rings and then machines the claw bits out of the bottom of these rings. You end up with a vrey nice set of modern style rings for the claw mounts Smiler

Those maounts are for silver soldering and would look great on an old Hensoldt or Pecar IMHO...

I don't think those mounts were silver soldered. The ones I have seen were soft soldered and this also included the base to receiver.

i would expect epoxy would be the wrong answer, though on a light enough rifle it could work.
