    First note, we used to sell those for around $45 Admittedly the low ones like he has were harder to find....but on the flip sode, veryfew were weaver / piccatinny - most were for 22 style dovetails and with him not showing the end or bottom it is possible that it is weaver but they they pormally have one of the three clamp bolts at a lower placing so one engages the grooves. His appear to be all the same height so I suspect it is suspect....

    Does it look more like this... or this? The bolts on the TM one look like hex, rather than Torx, and the tape shim inside the ring is a bit of a dead giveaway, apart from all the other dead giveaways....

    Now I'm confused. Is it an Accuracy International or a Leupold?

    If you look closely it is probably Luepold made by Accuracy Intententional.......

    In truth I suspect it is the Low version of the bottom one you pictured......

    Got one of the Accuracy International ones, came on a AI marked S&B 10x42 from a L96, apparently made by Sportsmatch in the UK.
