Burris Signature Z rings for a dovetail Panda action?

Will these work with a 12-42x56 NF NXS on a Panda Big Bore with the dovetail base?


Hoping for a 20MOA solution without having to buy a $100 pic rail or $160 rings from Kelbly's.

Other good options?

Thanks
 
I ponied up and had Warner Precision mount a lower profile 20 moa pic rail on my Panda receiver.

I had used the Kebley “ in the white “ aluminum 20 MOA riser but it slipped forward under recoil with the small set screws on the top of the rail before I added a cap head screw with a washer to the rear that kept it in place.

And now … I am shooting it as a Palma / Fullbore rifle and just using iron sights.

Make me an offer for the Kebley 20 MOA “customized” dovetail to pic rail adapter.
 
There's a difference between the 3/8" 'Kelbly' dovetails and the 3/8" .22 and airgun dovetails. That they're both 3/8" across the top is the only similarity.

These bases are Kelbly 3/8".

A closer view of the RF 3/8" ring on a 3/8" Kelby's base shows the difference in the draft angle on the sides, which results in very little contact area. A correct ring on a Kelbly's base will also make contact across the top of the base, as the first picture shows.

That does not look like a good idea...
