What ring and base setup is this?

[MontanaGrant]

I’ve looked all over and haven’t found anything comparable. It looks similar to a Talley setup except the entire base is smooth, unlike talleys which have a little indent where the ring sits on the base.

It came on a whitworth .375 I got. Lore says the rifle and Swarovski 1.5-6 it came with got a buffalo on a trip to Africa and it seems like a solid setup so I’m not going to change it, however I’d like to get a second set of rings for it.

I’m trying to download some pictures but it won’t let me, the Parker Hale ones I’m thinking of are very similar but they have a recessed bit through the middle

Those rings are the very first Warne just before they came up with the Premier rings with the lug on the bottom of the ring dovetail.

That is the same base as the Kimber of Oregon as no cross slot for the Premier Ring

Thank you all for the replies and helping me figure them out.

I apologize for not replying for whatever reasons I missed there were replies way back when. I’ll start the search for additional rings.

Hi,

I have these Warne mount since 1993 in my M70 pre 64 375 H&H. The second year that were made. Was a simplification of the original Brownell sistem. The original had little serrations in the bases and in the rings bases as well. Great design that allows to position the rings in different positions on the bases, with no higher protrusions and without any posibility to move along the bases! I am aware of the difficult to machine the original Brownell sistem!
The second, or third, version of those Warnes incorporates the bottom lugs in the rings and the corresponding slot in the bases. Better than the first ones in my opinion because they cannot move to the rear. A very good solution!!
