Hillver Scope Rings

[Trackerman]

I'm looking fora set of 30 mm Hillver rings to accommodate a Meopta Artemis 3-9x 50 scope. I have set of rings that came with the rifle (Australian made) but the objective sits 12 mm off the barrel which I think is a bit too high. I've had a look around some of the local RFD's but can't find a set anywhere. Anybody know of any UK stockists.

Hi Geordie

They are for a Browning A Bolt Stainless .270win. The bases on the rifle have a single post and the rings are secured by 2 allen screws.

Think I might have a matt black set of Hilver 30 mm rings that I used to mount a MTC Viper with a 56 mm objective lense. Not sure if they are classed as medium or high, will have a look in the morning and let you know. Not sure what they are worth but if there any good to you I'm sure we can come to an agreement.

Hilver's are typically 'stud' type rings and bases - which is what yours seem to be .
Hilvers stopped making them / went out of business years ago , they also made rings / bases for at least Tasco and Nikon , Lynx optics then appeared producing very similar rings / bases - i think somebody was importing their gear but i don't recall who.
Joe at the Gunshop at Cats Hill East Barnet still stocks some Hilver bits and pieces , might be worth giving him a ring http://gunshop-eb.com/Hillvermounts.php

Many years ago they were marketed as Tasco World Class mount , made in Australia. They have the reputation of being one of the strongest mounts available.
