I spoke to customer service at knight rifles yesterday and they told me that they have a large quantity of QR style stainless rings (made for knight by Warne) for sale at the factory for as low as $20. They do not have the bases to go with the rings. I was told that these are steel rings and are a very sturdy design, so steel bases must be used in weaver style - type or model 45? I'm going to use these on my knight elite, so I'm looking for a set of steel bases forit. Any suggestions as to where I might find them? Itwould be nice if they (the bases) were stainless or silver also, so as to match the rings.

Just got some from midway

any chance you could post a link to them at midway - I looked, but could not find them. thanks. pete

Pete, did Knight tell you those rings took the Weaver-style bases? Warne did make a line that took a special base - I believe they werePremier bases/rings - similar to thethose that weremade for Kimber. Just thinking those QR rings might be that smaller base type as I know Knight did sell those under their label at one time.

Just curious.

Gamaliel closed out a bunch of those type bases some time ago for dirt cheap and might still have some even though I can't locate them there. This page shows the base I am thinking of..... http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=15527&title=PREMIER+ALL-STEEL+BASES

If they are the Weaver style Allabouthunting.com has them for 28.25 . Just go there and search for:
Maxima Series Quick Detach Scope Rings And Bases MML Q-DET SCPBAS 2PC SS Item #290780 Mfg #900763

they are an older style underclocked - I think they are going to take the odd base size
