I have a friend who is restoring his Grandfathers old 30-06 from the 1960's or so and has a question on the scope mount and rings.

I have seen that type of rings before but I can't for the life of me remember just what they are.

Here are some pictures of it if any of you can help us out.

Don't look like Conetrol rings?
 
Those are the only pictures that he sent me.

To me it appears as if the top of the rings are smooth and the clamping is done down on the base mount. I'll ask him about the rings.

Doing a little bit more searching and there was a Winchester 88 scope base and rings that look similar but the base doesn't have what looks like a adjustment on the rear side of the mount.

The one ring without the stud does look like a Buehler.
 
I found the base, it is a Buhler Micro-Dial base so I am sure that the rings would be Buhler.

Thanks for some of the info. I had never heard of Buhler until you two mentioned it here.

Here is a link to the base that I am sure that he has.

Maynard Buehler of Orinda, CA. I doubt he is still in business. Good stuff.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
