Hmmmm - @10-Ring it was a long time ago that I briefly fondled a Black Bear in a shop so my memory may be at fault, I was sure the one I saw the ring rotated freely . . . they don't have a lock on them do they ?? In any event the one I'l adapt is close enough fitting that I can just sweat it on permanently just like my Oberndorf sporter rifles
Recknagel make a front sight base that has a rotating ring built into it, but its for large bore barrels. A very thorough scour of the web (including the links provided by Tahr, thanks) turned up only one poor quality ring made by Bisley in the UK that would fit the Remmy barrel at approximately the right point - most are simply too big, even those designed for tube mags on lever actions. I found a split ring that was the right size but it was for airguns and came with a warning that they were not responsible for its security, which is hardly what you want on a hunting rifle used in our robust terrain.
Thanks all
