Already thought of that, but don't have such a beast in my drawer of spares of various heights. Fixable the next time I visit McFly's I'd expect. Actually its probably closer to 29.5mm, but isn't that why they sell Reynolds Wrap? ;-) Mount rail a short piece of Pica-tinny rail, or std weaver if a flat base can be found. Wallies is closer but I don't recall seeing any 30mm stuff there, but haven't specifically checked either. I will next time I go out to get some of the daily pill intake that keeps me going. The taperlock dovetail doesn't have the overhead to allow disengagement, the so-called gear case is in the way. Thanks. The 30mm scope ring is probably the best idea of several I've had. Getting the head drilled & tapped to hold the base exactly vertical might be a trick. But I'll figure out something. ;-) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
