Main Description


BKL 257S Double Strap 3/8" & 11mm Dovetail base Rimfire & Airgun Rifle Scope Mount Rings for 1"/25mm scope tubes. Medium/high profile in stainless silver finish






Top quality, made in the USA mount rings for airgun and rimfire rifles.

Super strong double strap design

High profile 2 piece mount rings for 25mm / 1 inch tube scopes for fitting on 3/8" and 11mm airgun and rimfire dovetail base rails.

Height - 0.774" - 19.6mm base to bottom of ring equates to maximum scope outer objective casing diameter of 62mm - Most scope outer casing add 7-15mm to the lens size (depending on things like if it is an AO scope, use of flip up caps etc) so this gives a lot of room.

Generally these mounts are best suited for scopes with 40-50mm lenses though in some circumstances they are useful for bigger or smaller scopes - but unless you KNOW you have a special application such as a need to clear an iron sight (need higher) or have a raised base (need lower) then the general sizing guide is probably correct. As always, if unsure ask us.

What are the advantages of BKL mounting systems?
1 - Installation is performed easily because there are few components to contend with. BKL uses the same #8-32 screws for both scope ring and base clamps. One 9/64 hex wrench tightens all.
2 - The inside diameter where the rings clamp together is radiused to prevent scope damage.
3 - BKLs clamping system self aligns as it tightens down on 3/8” and 11mm dovetails.
4 - No lapping required.

Do I have to center BKL scope mounts?
No. All of our products center up as the pressure from the clamping system pulls down as it clamps in.


BKL customer user reviews for the related single strap 257 mounts
Just received my rings and mounted my Nikon Predator Scope (3x9x40) on my yet to be fired CZ 452 Lux .22 Rifle. Needed the High Mount Rings to clear the rear site and be able to use the combination system. The mount is solid and tight. Brilliant, they're the perfect fit. The product is well made and every bit of quality one can expect from an American Manufacturer.

I mounted a Centerpoint scope to my Henry H001 using these rings and the rings work perfectly. They are easily mounted and are strong and sturdy. I am so pleased I am going to get another set of the standard height rings for my H001M.

I ordered a set of BKL rings to try them after reading good reviews on RFC. I was so happy with them that I just got 2 more sets to replace the rings on my Marlin 883 and Savage MK2. You won`t find a better set of rings for your rimfire rifles than BKL.

The aligning of these rings on the receiver is incredible. BKL rings and risers are solid as a rock.

I have mounted 5 sets of the BKL-257 rings on our CZ 452 rifles. They are very good rings and are very well made.

Calculating scope to rifle body clearance

The way you calculate the clearance is by halving the overall OUTSIDE diameter of your rifle scopes objective lens and then deducting half the rifle scopes body tube diameter.

For scopes with a 1" diameter body tube diameter this would mean deducting 12.7mm and 15mm for scopes with a 30mm diameter body tube.

Note we say OUTSIDE diameter - this means NOT the lens diameter, you need to measure the whole outer casing diameter.

The result gives you the minimum "saddle" dimension - the measure from base of mount to bottom of the ring - the saddle dimension of these is 19.6mm

The amount the saddle dimension is greater than the figure you have calculated is the amount of clearance your scopes objective will be clear of your rifles body. 

Example -

  1. An example 1" 4-16x44 scope has an outer case measurement of 51mm.
  2. 51 divided by 2 = 25.5.
  3. 1" scope so deduct 12.7mm = 12.8mm
  4. So the mount must have a saddle measure (base of mount to bottom of the ring) greater than 12.8mm or else it will ground out on the rifle body.

Calculating your rifle scopes clearance in this way does assume your dovetail or base is not raised above or below your rifles barrel. Note some rifles with high or adjustable cheek pieces may require higher scope mounts or risers so that your eye is in line with the rifle scope and your head is kept in an upright comfortable position.
