Title: Weaver extender?
Post by: UlteriorModem on October 07, 2018, 11:32:51 PM
My Benjamin Mayhem has weaver rails on it which is nice, but with the bug buster I have on it right now it is just a little too far forward. Even when I put it in the very last 'slot'.

Is there any sort of mount/rings sort of thing that will allow me to move it back some?

Thanks.

Take a look at these and see what you think. I have them in both picatinny and dovetail versions on most of my rifles to get the scopes to sit back the way I like.

Most ring manufacturers make extension rings. Millett makes some nice ones.

Thanks for the suggestions all.

I am a little confused by something though. Most of them seemed to be designed to put the scope further forward??

As long as the style you choose is NOT a "droop compensation" type, you just turn it around the other way, so that the extension is to the rear.

Here is the one you need. Good quality and works well.

That is just a riser mount, I don't see how that would allow me to mount the scope further back?

You can mount it as far back or forward as you like. It doesn't need to be centered. The clamp is full length.

A set of extension rings would be a more elegant looking solution than a riser base if they offset your scope a sufficient amount.

Extension rings usually come with one extension ring and one standard ring, but I think that they sometimes come with two extension rings.

A riser base+rings may look kinda busy, and it may be taller than
optimum height. But different strokes for different folks! :-)

Is it not limited by the stop rails or whatever you call them? The round part that goes into the weaver slot.

I have already ordered a few things. Will see how they work out. One is rings, the other is a 'low profile' weaver extension.

I reverse those Hawke rings I posted the link to. Here's what they look like on my Umarex Fuel with picatinny base to give yo a better idea....

The Monstrum offset rings are one of the items I already ordered ;)
