Page 3 - BKL 1" Rings, 3/8" or Reviews

A bit pricey, but worth the investment as the slim design can easily solve mounting issues. I used these to mount a 3-9x32 Compact Bugbuster and initially I could not get the scope rearward enough to allow for proper eye relief on my P-rod. After installing both mounts as close as possible to center of the scope, both mounts fit perfectly on the rear portion of the dovetail which solved the problem

Nothing as these are great design and always align true to the barrel.

Self centering

Lower price

All of the other mounts I tried placed the scope slightly off center on my BSA Lonestar. Only the BKL placed the scope perfectly centered over the bore.

Very well thought out, quality in manufacture.

Nothing

Used these when scoping my Walther LGR with Leupold 3x9 EFR. Not a lot of room in the dovetail slots for double screw rings, these worked perfectly.

Very nice rings, clamp down on any dovetail rail securely. They align your scope to the bore properly. These rings are fine for springers or PCP, but you might want double strap rings for the magnum springers. Finish is great, and just a very well made scope ring! Why spend near the same on Chinese rings that do not have the high quality that BKL has?

Nothing. Even the price is fair, considering they are made here in the USA!

Don't over-tighten the screws. If your known to be heavy handed, get a torque screwdriver! These rings are well worth the little bit more that they cost over cheap, inferior Chinese rings. Again, a magnum springer might want a one piece mount or the double-strap rings. These are all I will purchase to use on 3/8" or 11mm dovetails from now on.

Quality is top notch. Hex wrench is included. Self centering clamp is very accurate. No sharp edges.

Price should be cheaper by a few bucks.

BKL mounts are the only kind I use. They are a bit pricy but you don't want to skimp on mounts if you care about accuracy and secure mounting.

USA made

Did not include all the hardware. The missing bolt that clamps the mount to the rail is missing and of all the hardware in my toolbox I have no match. I would not recommend these rings to anyone. I'm disgusted.

I do not recommend BKL at all, it came incomplete

Rock solid and self-centering are traits that make BKL mounts so very good.

When you spend several hundred dolllars on a fine airgun with quality optics, don't cheap out on your mounts.

Everything! They work amazing and they are made in the USA! They line your scope up to perfection!

not a thing.

buy a nice set or rings before you spend any money on a scope the rings will make a big difference.

Well machine and smooth also keeps your scope straight when first mounted.I useing these ring on my Benjaming .25 I be buying one more set for my cz 452 varmint.

none

Well worth the money (PLUS THERE MADE IN USA.....)

These are light weight and auto center.

I would make them sleeker to fit in tighter to the scope

Good equipment.

I use BKL rings exclusively on smallbore and air rifles as they are lightweight, well made, and a great value for the money. with all the different iterations of rings, I have a number of sets in "inventory" to get the best rings/scope combination on any rifle.

nothing.

exercise a modicum of care when tightening the allen screw that secures the ring to your dovetail to prevent stripping the threads. Tighten in stages rather than all at once.

Excellent quality, fit, and finish. I've said it before, BKL is a top notch product.

Don't cheap out on rings. Go with BKL for a rock solid mount every time folks.

I bought these rings for my Zastava M-85 (mini-Mauser) in .22 Hornet with "11mm dovetail". I wanted rings that would center-up regardless of the exact width of the dovetail vs 'universal' tip-offs that might not. I was pleased that they didn't need to be spread open to slide on. They're very sturdy, and setting up the scope was a snap, quicker and easier than with Millett Angle-Locs. What a great product for the modest price! I'll get another set in silver for my Marlin 995 and try a dab of rosin under the contact points of its shallow dovetail to prevent the 'slide-back' that the tip-offs I've tried haven't controlled.

These are RTR out of the box and I can't imagine anything that would improve them. Lining them with black tape is up to the user to cushion the scope tube and allow for tolerances that may torque it unevenly. It'd be nice to let firearm folks know these are available at PA, they'd appreciate the tip!

It's possible that spreading or compressing these rings for exact fit may cause one or the other to tilt a tad off center (mere thousandths at best). This wasn't measurable or an issue for me, and they could be switched around to realign a spin-centered scope once they've taken a 'set'. Expect to reef fairly well on the lower screws for a secure grip when first mounting them on a narrow dovetail. I suspect this has caused stripping for others, but in a pinch a longer screw and a nut on the far side could get one by until another set was ordered. D & T to a larger screw would also be an option, but the heads might need to be ground a tad narrower and/or the counter-bore widened a bit to clear them. There is plenty of stock here to trim/modify these if one doesn't mind touching up the paint afterward. This brand represents a great value, made in USA, and something of a hidden treasure here at PA ...

Well made, light weight rings. Height is med/high. A 44mm objective scope (Hawke SF) fit my Air Arms 510 w/room to spare.

Remember to not max out your scope's adjustment when sighting in a zero at long range. Use shim(s) on the rear scope ring bottom. Your point of impact may wander otherwise.

These rings center the scope on the receiver, rather than offsetting it.

Nothing!

Perfect fit on my BSA Sportsman HV, with a 40mm scope. I had to spread the clamping area 1/4 turn for the rings to slide on the receiver grooves. I debated over ordering these or the rings for the 14mm wide dovetail.. This product was the correct choice!

Everything. I love these rings and recommend them.

No recoil stop pin.

Go BKL exclusively...They're worth the extra cost. Thank you.

All steel, outstanding fit and finish, hold very securely, only rings that mount scope in line with rifle bore.

nothing

These rings must be slid on from one end of the rails due to their design.

Clamps very well and its design makes sure that the scope is always centered

I use BKL scope mounts exclusively because unlike other mounts I have used in the past, have not had them slip or misalign the scope.

self centering

have some kind of stop pin

this is my prefered rings for non-recoil airguns

accessory screw slot for bkl levels and such on opposite side of set screw. design is clean, as well as nice ano finish. PA's cust service is perfect as usual, and even though i purchased the slowest and cheapest shipping, it less than 6 business days to arrive, and did so in the standard bomb proof PA packing and box.

the giant sized retail box they came in is.... well, huge for such a small product. just an observation.

set screws are very tight to turn, but once it starts gripping the rail it becomes rock solid, very impressed with the "weld" as i tighten rings onto rails of my condor. the height of these rings on an airforce condor and condor tank fit my build perfectly without the need of the tri-rail or any other means of raising scope up to fit cheek weld; im 5'9". dont hesitate to buy, best scope rings ive purchased for 11mm rails.
