I just bought a centerpoint 4-16x56 sf scope an need a set of rings to fit a Hatsan at44 .tried. A set of weaver tactical rings they won't fit the gun.any ideas please

There a few differences between "Weaver" and "Picatinny" besides the set spacing between rail slots.
Normally find Weaver slots to be a bit thinner across and a bit more shallow (often not as sharp angled). BUT, normally Weaver rings would fit into a PCcatinny, and most Picatinny rings work in Weaver slots (also some Picccatinny mouts rely on that exact Piccatinny slot spacing).
Hatsans are not really either. Measure the 3 at hand, all have a lot shallower and narrow slots. HAve had several Weaver/Picattiny rings not fit as they needed a deeper slot for the cross clamp to actually clamp.
If there is any good news about this, the cheaper rings almost always work ....it's the more expensive ones, made to real Weaver or Piccatiiny standards, that often don't.
I'll hunt up a picture or two.

Both of these are "Weaver" rings. One on the left (was a set of "freebies" that come on some inexpensive scope) will fit the Hatsan shallow slots. One on the right (not real sure where that one came from either) needs a deeper (more Piccatinny type) slot (the cross bar is wider as well) and won't go on the Hatsan.
Not to just pick on Hatsan, won't go several other Weaver type bases either.
