Ring help and or suggestions

[Saltysteve]

So im new here....
Ordered a gauntlet and a CVlife scope 6- 24x50. On amazon the rings for the scope were a free gift and they didnt provide and info, i shouldve asked but i didnt and they dont fit.

They mount to scope 100% but are to big for the dove tail.
So it was a $30 scope and new mounts would be maybe $10/15?

Should i return and get another cheap scope with the correct mounts?
Or should i just buy good mounts because the mounts that come with are trash and may not hold zero?

So if i should get new mounts for a $30 scope which would you recommend?

I did find these... Lirisy 1" Dovetail Scope Mount Rings Medium Profile for 11mm Dovetail Rails (2 Pieces) on Amazon $10

Thanks for any help

You never mentioned what rifle you have and I know nothing about your scope.  Rings are most commonly available in 3/8" and 11 mm dovetail (two grooves milled into the receiver parallel with the barrel) or Weaver (several grooves across the receiver).  You need the correct type of rings.

Scopes  are generally one inch or thirty mm in diameter and you need the correct ring to fit the scope.

A fifty mm objective should use a high ring - they come in different heights.

Given that information you should be able to select the correct rings.  By the way, if I have a dovetail mount I prefer a one piece mount.

I did mention the exact gun and scope i own...
Umarex Gauntlet airgun
CVlife 6-24x50 scope

One piece makes sense. Thanks.

I know i need a raised mount because its 50mm and its 1 inch size on scope side and dovetail on the other.
I just was looking for suggestions on my situation.

Steve,

Do not skimp on the scope mount.   BKL, makes good stuff.  Hawke, Sportsmatch, Beeman too...
You will always be able to use the mounts on a different gun with a different scope.

I was thinking of getting a double bolt leapers accushot mount. Is that not good enough?

Never tried them so I don't know.  Go to Pyramid Air's website and read the reviews of the different scope mounts.....

The Leapers mounts are fine. I have several sets.

The vast majority of scopes are intended for center-fire rifles and will be provided, if at all, with rings for a Weaver/Picatinny mount.  It's a good system for airguns because of the built-in scope stops with the slots and screws.

However, most airguns come with an 11mm or 3/8" rail machined into the receiver.  Weaver/Picatinny rails are more common on higher-end PCP rifles.

The UTG rings are mostly fine and tend to have a stop pin, which is nice if there is a corresponding hole in the receiver.

Oh ,if you get a one piece mount you won't be able to use the magazine on the Gauntlet,at least not with that scope.

When selecting a set of rings for mounting a scope on a PCP, if you have the choice it's better to opt for Weaver/Picatinny individual mounts.
Saves a lot of headaches wrt to where on the rail you can place the mount, as well as eliminates problems with magazine clearance & eye relief .

EDIT:
Picatinny mounts are useful for if you'd like to switch your gun between scopes as well. Just have to remember which slot which scope is set up for on the particular rifle.

If you want to save on shipping, order the scope rings from Walmart if you're close to one and pick it up from that store. They actually have those scope and got similar one when it went on sale.
