I'll try it tonight.
I have a set of Mauser 96 bases and rings (SK) and a few sets of Mauser 66 bases with horizontal split rings (Conetrol)

I asked the same question a few weeks ago, but I deleted my post when I saw how ugly the S&K base was for my application(Ruger no. 1).

My question was prompted by someone else claiming that S&K rings and bases are interchangeable with Gentry's.

Something else worth thinking about: Conetrol sells blank bases for about $35 if you were looking towards a custom set-up.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

Conetrol rings won't fit into SK bases. At least they won't drop in.

but you may be able the make them fit w/o much work. I didn't want to try it.
