Can do.

50mm objective, 30mm tube.

Note though my mate had to cut off the rear of his picatinny rail to fit it without going up another ring height. Look at the picture again and you'll see if you didn't notice it.

Yeah, I did see that Lorgar.

I was thinking if I'm not using the rail I may as well take it off and grub screw it. I thought it was a 50, but wasn't sure because of the stepping on the barrel.

Much appreciated mate :)

EDIT: Forgot to ask .. Are they stanrard size rings? I'm assuming not because they are black and I thought the stainless guns came with stainless rings too...

Nah, not standard rings. Too low of course...

I'd have to ask to be positive, but I'm 99% sure he's got 'high' rings there.

To keep the full rail and mount the same scope he'd have had to go with 'extra high' rings and the mounting height was getting a bit out of control then...

I'll ask next time I speak to him for you.

Thanks mate, yeah I was thinking the same, but you have opened some options up to me, so I owe you a beer :)

* Cries a little bit * They were pretty popular before the stealback in 96. And the pump versions well there seems to be a bunch out there :)
