I am readily open to suggestions re a set of rings/bases for a Parker Hale safari 98.

The rifle is already fitted with Buehler mounts but i believe they are too tight for the series 11 L 2 x 7 x33 scope as evidenced by the power ring almost seizing,once taken from the rings the tightness is not evident so i`m assuming that the Buehler rings are too tight. Another small matter is that the rings are shimmed on top and for the love of me i cant close the gap,hence the "over tight" that was achieved by Jack Miller when he fitted them years ago.It has me stumped as to what bloody sort of screwdriver he used!

Any ideas on this would be very welcome also.

Quality without going over the top is what i am after as they will be for .358 Norma Mag duty.

QD`s are no use to me as i have no open sights,i`m a scope man anyway.

Brand/brands?

Price?

Where to purchase?

Pref in Australia but will buy offshore,thanks in advance.
