Thread: 30mm to 1 inch scope ring insert reducer

After some 30mm to 1 inch reducer inserts for a set of mounts,, any idea where I could find these locally???

Not much help to u I am afraid- I got my sets from Brownells.

I think I have a spare set of cheap plastic ones that I got off aliexpress you can have if that helps.
I ordered 1 set and got sent 2.

I have to ask why you wouldn't just get a set of one inch rings. Surely there would be more potential for scope movement if you use inserts.

For me it was just a budget thing - I recieved a 30mm mount for free to be used on my 22AR with a 1 inch scope I was borrowing. I used them until I settled on a scope and mount that I wanted.
I personally wouldnt have used them on a centrefire though.

I used a set of 30mm to 1 inch reducers for another reason. On my Brno ZKW Hornet I didn't wish to remove the rear sight to mount the scope. 1 inch rings either were too low and the ocular would not clear the rear sight, or miles too high. I ended up using Warne QD 30mm rings and Brownell's reducers and the clearance between the scope and the rear sight is purrfect. The scope (yeah I know, it's only a Hornet) will never slip fwd. The reducers grip the scope like shite on a boarding house blanket. Plus the reducers will not slip fwd in the rings as the reducers have a collar on them which you mount reward up against the ring.

I wouldn't use the Chinese ones though on a heavy recoiling rifle.
