Eye relief for 1903 A4 w/ Weaver K2.5?

[PhillipM]

I've measured my Weaver K2.5 60-B. From the ocular bell adjustment threads to the adjustment turrets is 3.550". The adjustment turret is .980", adjustment turret to front is 3.050".

Eye relief on mine is approximately 3.70" - 4"

Therefore to put the adjustment turret in front of the front ring the outside to outside dimension of the rings cannot be much over 3.550" I have about a 1/4" of threads exposed I suppose could be put under a ring. Just thinking, an 06 round's max length is 3.340" and I know the rings have to be further apart than that on the inside dimension so I don't think it's possible.

well without removing eye bell and lock ring or bending a scope ring open this isn't happening... not really interested in bending a scope ring open and not sure how I am feeling about disassembling a scope

perhaps a braver soul than I will chime in...

whats the going rate for a K2.5 (early model with moving reticle) these days ? I gave $40.00 about 6 years ago and "rescued it" off a Bubba'd M1917 rings and all..

Oh yes. Removing the eyepiece and sliding both rings on from the rear is a given when using the top split (one piece) rings. Its the only way to do it whether you install one ring or two.
Sealed scopes like the M84 absolutely require the use of two-piece horizontally split rings. But thanks for looking anyway.
