Thread: 26mm Rings?

Another thought is that some of these older scopes are reticle moving rather than image moving. This can need some lateral adjustment to keep the cross hairs from being of to one side. Can be lots of fun mounting old scopes.

GPM I think the Kahles of the day, like my Nickel were image moving. Unlike the Pecar I had which was a maddening feature if you didn't have windage in the rings, as you have mentioned.

Have a pair of Buehler 26mm rings if you are interested. Have various Buehler bases of which sure can get to fit.

Gary's offer sounds like a good'un, but, if it doesn't work out, getting some 1" rings reamed out by someone with an adjustable reamer as mentioned by @NO4 above is certainly doable but take care not to fall into the trap of someone I knew of years ago that got this done. They tightened the rings right down & then reamed them. Upshot was, there was no clamping on their 26mm scope, so it is necessary to pack the rings a similar distance apart as they would be on a 1" scope before reaming them & then they'll have the correct clamping.
