    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.

    Beauty wee scope that. Had my reservations about moving it on but wasted on a rough bastard like me!

    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.

    Premium Optics Australia is worth a try for some older rings , I have brought some Hilvers from him before , not sure if you can still send that stuff from Aussie in the post now though.

    Interesting old book 1971 by Frank de Haas Has a good section on commercial turn bolt actions and rifles. Has a great section on BSA rifles including a page on the Majestic parts and prices.Also has a lot of dimensions of actions etc. Includes Royal, Majestic, Monarch and U9. It's an American book hence some difference in model names.

    There are about 6 pages on the BSA models I could put on this section if members are interested but will take a bit of room to do so. May help with a lot of queries regarding models, dates etc. Bearing in mind it won't have Viscount and Imperial models shown as such being American.

    I've dealt with the guy at Premium Optics in AUS and he's a good bugger. But given the AUS firearms laws he will only send Rifle parts to AUS addresses. Bit like NV Gear from the US - a pain in the arse!

    Page 233 is the one I posted showing the Majestic parts. Some interesting reading here.
