Scope, Rings, And adjustment
Hey Everyone,
I just have a couple questions maybe some of you can answer. I just got my Cricket .25 last week and I an currently building her up. I like some of the heavy duty tactical scope rings but if I have to dial a lot of adjustment out of the scope it may not be my best option. I am looking at the Burris Zee signature rings but they don’t look real strong to me. I really like the Badger Ordinance rings I used on my Remington 700 LTR, probably overkill.
I am ordering a Hawke Sidewinder 30 Tactical 6.5-20-42 and rings TBD.
First, how many of you just mounted your scope and it was optically correct, and if it wasn’t how much adjustment did you have to dial in and which direction.
Second, do any of you elevate the rear mount so you can shoot at longer distances (100yds+)
Third, and I know this has been discussed to no end but I just can’t make up my mind as to which rings I should get. Please, tell me what you like and why, if that isn’t too much to ask.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

3 days ago I took scope off 22 cricket that had regular Burris signature Zee Rings. I then centered scope via blocks and it made a 3″ circle on wall at 10 yards when rotating it. That’s how bad it was. When I mounted it with zero off set inserts it was 2″ plus low and at least that much too far left

Because the Cricket scope rail is already high off the barrel I personally like to go as low as the scope and my eye will allow. I like the scope to be close to the bore.
These are low Weaver mounts. On firearms I always use Badger rings but due to lack of recoil I don’t think they are necessary.
Thanks guys, so I guess my next question would have to be, what height do you use? Med or High? I have the cheek piece but haven’t decided if I will be using it or not if that makes a difference.
Thanks
+ 1 for Sg Zee´s. “Not strong enough” ?? Those are more than overly capable of coping with any PB recoil so they´ll definitely stand up for the fierce recoil your PCP throws at them. :winkn: Trust me.
Sig Zee´s and Optilock´s , both with their Polymere inserts , are IMHO the best way to fit a scope to any gun. Neither will ever make any ring marks on any Scope and both will keep the Scope put. Guaranteed !
That is good to hear, I have seen your posts on here and you have some nice crickets… So, after you centered them and used the zee rings you still had to make adjustments? Have you ever used just a regular set of rings? How much was it off with them?
Here is something you can look at

First off don’t be afraid of the Burris signature Zee Rings with inserts because I just installed my second set on 22 cricket couple nights ago. I had first optical center scope as it was out like crazy. After adjusting the inserts I was able to zero scope at 38 yards with a total of 15 clicks. My 25 is zeroed at 50 with 10 clicks of adjustment. I was able to get 25 dead on on windage but was a little high still. I recommend them for sure. There is a tread on this if you look around.

I have a set that are medium and thought they were too low for me. I didn’t even open them so PM if you want them. Bought them last week
