These have been sitting in my bits and pieces for years. I intend to pay these forward but no point unless I can identify what they fit. Pretty sure the blued ones are Conetrol. Assistance appreciated. Cheers
Those first ones are indeed conetrol but couldnt hazard a guess to the bases. I would like first dibs if you do get rid 9f them as I might have a project for them.
I think the second lot might be lynx rings and bases
Check the rings - they may be 26mm rather than 1"
99% sure those Conetrol bases are for a BSA Hunter/Regent action.The split base with cap screw clamping provides anti recoil friction required due to the fact that the (early)Hunter action parallel rear receiver bridge didn't have a milled detent to accept a base spigot.BSA latter on did mill an anti recoil detent hence the latter default Parker Hale bases do have a locking spigot.How do I know all this? Just brought one with those very same Conetrols.
@bluebaiter. That would make sense. About 40 years ago I had a BSA Hunter 7 x 57. I've certainly had those bases and rings hanging around for a long time.
Yip the Viscount action ain't got the detent,but the successor Majestic action did from the early 60's onwards
@RugerM77 hmm just grabbed her Royal Highness the Queen from her safe throne to check out those bases.Have noted my pair mounted on this BSA don't have the (rear?) Stepped bottom face .So now retracting my quess.Turns out I'm not a Noah after all.Attachment 199797If the brains trust on here can't solve the riddle,then maybe a couple of happy snaps sent to the good ol boys @ Conetrol in Texas might be able to I.D. them
What size dovetail do they have? That might help.
@Husky1600 and @bluebaiter222 both sets of rings are 1". The conetrol bases measure .570 at base of dovetail and .620 at top. Bit of a mystery.
Iv got a pair on a brno601 and they look that way
Id have to measure to see if they can be ruled out
Thats a tad bigger than PH/BSA rings - the mystery continuesQuote:

Bloody hell, if they're BRNO 601 I have a genuine need for them if csmiffy doesn't want them? That would be perfect, been building a rifle on a 601 action and was looking for a classy set of rings to complete it.
My gut feeling is these bases aren't for a flat topped Brno dovetailed receiver.The unique (presumably)anti recoil stepped base is for a very particular profiled dovetail set up.Only the stone age Khyber Pass gunsmiths would knock up something to fit these bases
The way I see it the bases are going to fit one of the three, probably. BSA, Parker hale or BRNO 601. How about I send them to @ Gun nut ( genuine need ). If they don't fit pass onto @ csmiffy ( might have a project )
If you guys agree @ Gun nut, PM me your address. Cheers
19mm at the top of the dove tail knotch on the 601 and 17mm at the bottom

Anyone suggest Sako bases. Fairly sure you can tell whether they are metric or inch from number stamped on foot of ring.
Stainless bases are Tasco (made by an Ozzie crowd I think - edit, Lynx as per Smithy). If flat, A Bolt, if not probably Rem 700?
@Kiwi.bloke. Sent email to Lynx with the number my old eyes found stamped on base. 1856D. Couldn't see it on their web site. no reply yet. I'll check Tasco. Bases are slightly concave. Could be Rem 700.
Just checked, don't appear to be Tasco.
