R92 Scope Rings
R92 Scope Rings
Just bought an R92 in 357, got a Crossfire II Scout scope on the way. Looking for suggestions on scope rings. My rifle has the picatinny rail with peep sight. Any rings out there that ya’ll would recommend that are basically “see through”? Or would quick detach be a better option for this rifle?

Re: R92 Scope Rings
They seem like a neat idea, but I would advise against getting see-through rings (the type which has holes underneath the scope so you can still see the iron sights). I do a fair amount of rifle instructing with Project Appleseed, and see a lot of varieties of rifles & sights come through. A handful of folks have had those rings freshly mounted on their rifles. The vast majority of them hate the rings by the time the first day is over.
The problem that you run into with those rings is that the scope is placed very high to accommodate the see-through aspect. Your cheek can't rest on the stock because your eye has to float *way* up high to see through the scope. You often wind up with the worst of both worlds; a scope which turns out to be a pain to use, iron sights which no one uses because you've got a nice scope sitting there, and the weight and bulk of a scope that's sticking out rather far from the rifle.
Quick-detach rings are fine if you can keep the hight reasonably low, but extra hight is the price you pay compared to regular rings.
Personally, I like to use regular rings and just keep a torque screwdriver in my bag for when I want to attach a scope to the Pic rail of one of my rifles. I'm reasonably careful and consistent when attaching scopes, and don't really have issues with misalignment when re-attaching. But to each their own; those are simply my preferences and my $.02.

Re: R92 Scope Rings
There was one more picture that needed a skitch more compression, but my compression utility refuses to compress an already compressed picture. Sorry.

Re: R92 Scope Rings
BasMstr...wouldn't the rear peep obstruct you sight picture thru a QD low mounted scope? I've observed that a "see thru" scope mount also requires the addition of a cheek pad on the stock for proper sighting.
Re: R92 Scope Rings
Been a few years, but I’ve used them in the past. Of course, none of those were mounted on picatinny rails, so definitely gonna be higher. I’m just curious if anyone has used them on these rifles.Nashville Stage wrote: ↑14 Dec 2023 22:26 They seem like a neat idea, but I would advise against getting see-through rings (the type which has holes underneath the scope so you can still see the iron sights).
