    Parker Hale scope base and rings Product code ID?

    Does anyone have a source or a chart that tells you what scope base's fit on what guns and scope rings height and tube diameter are?

    There are several places that sell new old stock PH base's, just would like to know what base will fit on what gun. Didn't know if there was a chart like weaver has that has this info on it.

    There is in amongst the hoards of records I have here. Remember reading the base numbers but nothing on scopes/mounts other than those already recorded and built and tested on M82/84/85 & C3/1200's as supplied.
    If you could give me a few days I'll try and locate them and get back to you ASAP

    I'd be curious as well. Have had for ages a takedown BSA Martini actioned .300 Extra Long chambered thing with some odd PH bases for which I've had no success getting rings.

    If you let me have what you need, I am having a lunch with Bill Smallwood next week to catch up on where I am. I have now completed transferring thousands of entries of rifles finished in manufacture that survived the great burning by SABRE on take over in 2000, and now on Excel spreadsheet.
    Bill may know the answers to any mysteries you throw up!! you never know.

    Well I just answered part of my question.

    I received a scope base order and in the back of the factory label there is a chart.

    Hi Rob,
    I had a great meeting with Bill Smallwood over lunch today, and he can confirm that the attached, and what you have already produced are what came with each base ordered from Parker Hale, and the red part of the label indicated in the attached image would provide which rifle the base was for.....in this case Lee Enfield Number 29.
    Hope that answers you query. Apologies for the delay in answering.
