Can anyone kindly help identify these scope mounts?

[muddy42]

As per the title can anyone help me identify these scope rings or something compatible with the existing holes drilled in the rifle? I need to find something similar but slightly higher to accommodate a larger scope. The current rings are approx. 25mm high (see picture). When I had them installed they were described as Remington 700 mounts, does that refer to the pattern of the holes drilled into the action or the mounts themselves? I don't really like picatinny rails, but I will go there if I have to. I don't change scopes often, the last one was on for 10 years.

​

Thanks in advance for any help.

Looks like leupold but I’m no expert

FYI.

As per post #2

Just change the rings. The bases are fine and only come in one height.

Given the style of mount/ring you may find other manufacturer turn-in rings will fit.

It's a pity you need 30mm as I'm sure I have 1" Redfields that would have done the job and look sleaker than the top access split rings.

horrible mismatch of brands
Rear Base is a Hilver or Redfield
Front Base is Leupold
Rings are probably Leupold - they are LOW's
As a result you have a hideous incline in the system that will be putting a stress in the scope tube

The windage adjustable system alters height through the ring height
There are wide range of 30mm rings available we have medium through Extra high in stock ( I think!)

Buy a new decent set of Remington 700 bases and correct height rings. Take that all off and put in the bin.

It's amazing what you can see ("hideous incline") when switching to a PC screen!

@Stevie/P @Bavarianbrit @Klenchblaize thanks I will look for medium rings. If that still doesn't give me the right eye relief I will change bases.

@triggertrix correct rebarrelled CF2 and still shoots well

@Edinburgh Rifles apologies I should have clarified, this photo shows the NEW larger scope that I am trying to fit. The scope is not positioned correctly nor are the screws tightened because I realised quite quickly that the bolt was touching (and the mag ring in this photo). I'm not sure what you mean by hideous incline? These bases and rings look level to me and have been fine for the past 10 years with my S&B 6x42, I've only needed to adjust it a few clicks when Ive changed ammo. Maybe the photo is making it look funny?

Thanks All

I have Burris rem 700 bases and Burris 1” rings for sale I bought for exactly this job (cf2) although found a scope and PH ring combo that worked instead. High height . £40 delivered (although I’m away until the weekend).

Thanks but I need after 30mm rings not 1 inch

 

[HonestJohn]

Guarantee you if you call opticswarehouse they will have a 30mm set of Leupold in med or high for £5-£15

 

[Edinburgh Rifles]

ah could be the photo then

drop me a line if you need rings

 

[Tim1]

My OCD wouldn't allow me to have mis-matched bases.

Thanks will do

Don't forget the below extended front ring can be orientated as required to address a scope eye relief problem:

You are, however, attempting to install a short(ish) tubed scope to a long(ish) action so are starting from a position of disadvantage.

Hope it all works out without resorting to install of a rail!

I recently changed out the parker hale bases on my CF2 for some Warne brand Remington 700 steel bases. This to be able to fit a 30mm large Objective scope.
I had some weaver "top mount" rings of suitable height already to fit the scope.
Going well so far.

I also got a slight improvement on eye relief (the scope closer to me) over the PH bases.

Thanks. Yes thats the plan. I was also hoping for just ‘medium’ rings rather than high. But lets see.

And thanks for everyone’s help. I live in the sticks so finding bases and/or a rifle smith isnt easy.
