3/8" vs 11mm Scope Mount
condor22:
IMHO all dovetail rails are 11mm as is all air rifles are BB guns! :)
TooJung2Die:
There is a solution. It is not uncommon for the scope centerline to be slightly off from the barrel centerline. Tilt the gun until the centerlines of the scope and barrel align vertically. Rotate the scope crosshairs until the horizontal is parallel to the horizon. When you shoot keep this alignment. Unless the centerlines are off by a lot the tilt of the gun will only be slight. If you have to tilt the gun a lot then you probably have the wrong mount for your grooves.

Thanks for the replies.
I am thinking a different route, 11mm Dovetail to Weaver Mount Adapter, then Weaver/Hawke Rings.
I get too involved, OCD, in the choices, Quality Engineer for too long.
Thanks for all of the ideas and thoughts.

Just a couple of weaver base rings I use and highly recommend:
Leupold PRW-QRW Permanent/quick release weaver base. http://swfa.com/Leupold-Permanent-Weaver-Style-30mm-Rings-C695.aspx http://swfa.com/Leupold-Quick-Release-Weaver-Style-30mm-Rings-C705.aspx These rings are worth 3x price! 8)
Weaver Detachable Top Mount : http://swfa.com/Weaver-Detachable-Top-Mount-30mm-Rings-P10408.aspx These are cheap and wont break the bank.
Not to knock Hawke 11mm to weaver rails, I returned a set of 2pc Hawke 11mm to weaver rail adapter to Optics planet (Model HM17013) http://www.hawkeoptics.com/38-or-11mm-to-weaver-2-piece-adaptor.html Where the screw went through the clamp with very little effort. First time use
Sam ;)
Railbuggy:
I go with the 3/8 or 11mm to Weaver adapter by UTG and then use high rise or see thru rings. I lost my right eye and still shoot right handed using my left eye. My scopes sit about 1.5 to 2.0" above the barrels.
