I was wondering if any member has ever come across this before.
Bought a new gun ( collect tomorrow :D) bought picatinny rail for it, bought Warne scope mounts 1 inch from AllThingsShooting ( thanks )
Went to check mounts are okay for scope tonight in preparation for tomorrow :D and found this

Scope is a Schmidt and Bender 6x42 (old type ) imported from Germany and Made in Germany
Although the caliper says 1.026 it should be 1.020
Don't like pinching the scope
Any thoughts
 
Looks like you have a 26mm tubed scope not a 1" tube. Warne do not make rings in 26mm. I had a simiar problem so used a set of 30mm rings with reducer inserts. You can get a set of 26m rings from Alan Rhone that will fit on a picatinny rail but they are not cheap (about £100).
Do not be tempted to force 1" rings on a 26mm scope in spite of what some people say.
 
Why should it be 1.020"?

26mm = 1.0236. Try doing the conversion sum :D so 0.0024" would be within manufacturers tolerance one would suspect.
