	I want to mount an internally adjusting (i.e. modern) scope to Unertl blocks fitted to a customized Winchester 1885 high wall. Does anyone know where I might buy rings such as these? Thanks.

	Modern Rimfire "tip off" rings are about the same size as a Unertl grove. It works if the rifle is not a heavy recoiler. Ones that float and take up from both sides work the best. Boats

	You may run into problems with ring spacing vs. scope body length and also eye relief, especially with the "normal" 7.2" block spacing. I use Warne Premier rings on Unertl blocks on my Ruger No. 3, but the block spacing is set for the modern scope that I use, not for an externally adjustable scope. I also modified one base by drilling and tapping it's top surface for a screw whose head sticks up to act as a recoil stop for the rear ring. David

	I also use Kelby rings on a 32 Miller and a 22LR Miller and can go between internal and external scopes. Sinclair supplies Kelby rings.

	If you can find them the old Redfield 3200/6400 rings have no equal. If recoil is an issue the bigbore thumb screw with a posa type base can handle it. If using the old Redfield bases for these you have about 2.5" of adjustment for eye relief. bjm

	Possible I might add, on my Miller I have a 1 piece base 9'' long. This gives me latitude for eye relief. Kurt
