Thread: Sako A11 scope mounting

The callipers have been out to confirm a few things:

The scope is a 25.4mm tube
The rings are definitely 25.4mm – despite the markings on the bases!

I’d like a touch more clearance if I can and I will keep an eye out for a scope with a smaller objective.

In the meantime, would there be any issues in shimming the underside of the scope ring with a bit of tape or aluminium can?
