I had to bore out some 1" rings when I wanted to mount a 26.4mm(?) Hensholt Wetzlar scope. That was a bit of an ar$e puckering moment!

Parker Hale
Leupold
Warne

None of the above are currently made in 26mm but have been in the past.

The most annoying thing with 26mm rings is being told by all the experts to just use 1" rings instead, as they're the same....!!

I need the rings for an 11mm rail/slots and the 'scope to go on is a Pecar. It has been done before so I just need to track down some suitable candidates. I do have some 1" here albeit a bit new for the rifle so I could always ream them out however it seems wrong as they would look out of place.

pe4king Thanks for the info. It's a long time since I looked at them. Ovenpaa it sounds like you may need to continue your search. May I ask what Pecar scope you have and what you are putting it on?
