Anyone have suggestions for rings & bases for a Cooper Model 22 Varminter?

Thx.

Warne rings and bases

Mine came with Leupold style mounts; I used Leupold rings.

I have a set of the older style warne bases that were the narrower model, as far as I know these cannot be bought anymore. I also have a set of warne 50 mm rings to match.

Call Ken Ferrel and buy one of his base's. It is the only way to go with a Cooper. I have a Model 52 and a 22 on the 52 the holes are drilled so far apart that I could install I 50mm scope on it. I went back to the Cooper Dealer and he put me in touch with Ken Ferrel he makes custom makes bases for Cooper Rifles. They are very high quality. He also sells rings. They are a little pricey. You can use any type of Weaver style rings with his bases. My Model 52 Cooper was one of the very early one's and the were spaced farther apart than later models so he was my only answer to that problem.

Talley One piece lightweight mounts. I don't know if they are made for a 30mm scope but they are perfect for a 1' scope.
The price is definitely right.

I have a new set of Leupold matte bases that will work with any Leupold style ring.

Ken Farrell for the win.

I vote talleys. They sure look right on my dakota

My Cooper Model 22 Varminter came with Talley bases.

 

[JerryP]

What rings fit Talley bases?

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Talley

 

[JerryP]

They are not high enough. Will BKL rings fit?

 

[Dusty Stevens]

I doubt it. Havent tried and cant measure the dovetail right now. I have a 56mm nightforce on a heavy barrel dakota with the highs. Plenty of room for me

My M22 also came with Talley bases.Talley rings and bases are very nice can't go wrong using them. I wanted to use Sig Zees on my M54 so I went with the Farrell base also a very good choice.I actually prefer the Farrell base.
