Once you have popped off the heads of the screws on those Parker Hale rings that Gary is sending you by overtightening them, the solution is to get Gunworks to fit some Warne CZ550 rings and machine a bolt stop to match.

Checked it out, looked up the markings etc and according to the previous owner, who collects them it is a Hunter Viscount. So we are both correct. Still could be wrong. But it doesn’t matter as I’ve got a lovely old rifle in my all time favourite caliber.

Yeah, those screws are a worry. Have had past experiences many years ago as a much younger version of myself trying to tighten them. It didn’t end well. May well do as you suggested.
