You have more options than that The 597 is grooved for any standard rimfire (aka 3/8 inch, aka airgun, aka .22, aka tipoff) rings and tapped/drilled for Weaver-style bases. That means any common 3/8 inch ring will work.

You can also buy a Weaver base, that will allow any Weaver style rings to fit.

My top pick for a ring is the Burris Signature tipoff ring ($40), or if you buy the Weaver base and the Burris Signature Zee ring ($30). The advantage of the Burris Signature rings over other ring systems is that they require no lapping, will not scratch the scope tube, and with the optional plastic insert kit offer up to 40 MOA of adjustment for those tricking mounting situations.

 

very nice to hear

some if i am reading what you are saying right

then something like this would work great?

Well.... yes... this might work, assuming it is high enough for your 50mm scope. This is the first time I have ever seen a 30mm ring sold with 1 inch inserts! Yes there are adapters, but I have never seen the ring sold with the adapter and all for under $7. I am assuming your Bushnell is a 1 inch scope and not 30mm. This NCStar is a VERY cheap Aluminum ring.

That 50mm scope is large, and might need extra high rings. Many might suggest that since this is a tall, heavy scope, to buy the Weaver adapter base and go with a quality ring. For a rimfire this isn't absolutely necessary, but it still isn't bad advice to go the Weaver base route.

Suggest you look at these two links and estimate what kind of height rings you will need.

Do you have a budget that you must stay inside?
Here are all of Midways rimfire rings. Quality rings would be Weaver Grand Slam, Warne (steel), most Leupolds (not those $10 Aluminum Leupolds), Burris (steel), BKL (Aluminum).

If you want cheap, consider Walmart (also Gander Mountain/Dicks/local sporting goods store). They might have some cheap Aluminum 3/8 inch Simmons/Weaver/Leupold/etc in HIGH for about $10. BTW, aluminum does not necessarily mean poor performance or design. BKL has a reputation of making some nice quality Aluminum rings but they usually start at about $25. Most of the better rings are going to cost you at least $25.

 

i wanted to spend around 25 for the rings

the only rings the people suggested were 45, which is almost half the price of the scope which is crazy

im tkaing a look at those links now

Thank you

 

well
tried to go to bushnells website to see if i can get some actual dimensions of the scope, but it seems to be down, looks like tomarrow ill try again
