• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

I have this mid to late 50's on hold at a local shop but have not seenbthese rings or bases before. Has a period correct Unertl hawk scope. Just curious if the receiver has most likely been drilled. Thank you.

Most aftermarket bases didn't need to be screwed on. If they were it wasn't required. They are simply driven on & the tapered Sako dovetails allow recoil forces to keep them tight. We see all kinds of aftermarket aberrations when it comes to scope mounting on Sakos. Seems a lot of people didn't understand or couldn't obtain the Sako ringmounts. I don't know much about the different brands, but if I had to guess, I'd say the bases in the pic were made by Talley. I'm sure someone here will know for sure.

The bases could be Talley, or it could be a Stith mount that somebody has cut off the connector arm between the front and rear bases. Or maybe Stith made 2-piece bases as well as one-piece. Both Stith and Talley used the same kind of vertically split rings. Hard to be sure from the photo.

Here'sa Stith mount to compare. Stith Mount 1.JPG Stith Mount 2.JPG

And here's a Talley mount on an FN action.
