    Cheers tetawa, I went to Gunworks and asked about the Sportmatch as I have a set on a 22. They told me that Sportmatch only come in 15mm.
    I thought that I could machine a slice off some standard dovetails and screw + loctite those onto the BSA dovetails to bring them up to a standard height and thickness then use the leupold PRW rings.

    Was thinking of machining down an old set of PH rings ( bottom half) then fitting a picatinny rail to them, easier to fit a night vision to the rail.

    For reference, BRNO 600 & 601 rings fit the BSA dovetails once you machine off the recoil lug on the rear ring set. I have a set of Aussie Hilver rings that I did that to for my 222 Hunter. Another option to consider.
