These seem fairly difficult to find. I have an old Weaver B6 with a 3/4" tube. I would like to mount it to a Weaver base, but cannot find the rings! Anyone else?

I have answered this question in this old post.

Some folks buy 1 inch rings and use an adapter like the Delrin Ring reducer

About the only source of an authentic 3/4th inch ring today, would be the used market. Try ebay, search "3/4 (weaver,redfield,tasco)".

If you're really desperate, you could always buy a Tasco rimfire 3/4th inch riflescope, and use the cheap supplied 3/4 inch rings.

Yes; this is an old post, but just be warned. I have that old 3/4" Redfield 22 scope. I had it mounted for years on my original 10/22. The rings fit fine on the 10/22 stock 3/8" scope mount.
I have tried to fit this same set of rings on other .22 rifles, but I found that the mount must be almost flat across the center , as on the 10/22..because the Redfield rings don't allow much for the normal round shape of many grooved 22 rifle barrels. I'm speaking of the curvature between the grooves, left to right.

Thank goodness for older posts and knowledgeable members..! Thanks Ironglows...you've shed some light on something and may have solved a problem that has bothered me for several years. I've had trouble mounting several Baby Redfield scopes on older Belgium Browning SA-22s with grooved receivers. Never could get them mounted or sighted properly. I'm wondering now if the radius height between the grooves might have been my problem all along...

I bought a set of the 3/4" Grubee rings to mount a vintage Baby Redfield on a 1966 vintage Winchester 9422. It looks great - the rifle is wearing the scope instead of the reverse.
I have a Browning labeled Baby Redfield on my SA-22 and it is just the right size scope.
I am about to purchase a 3rd Baby Redfield for my Iver Johnson "Wagon Master" .22 lr lever action rifle made by Erma Werke in Germany.
It is time to order another set of Grubee rings.
