Here are some pics of one of my rib treatments on a future low wall custom. I use copies of the now-discontinued Kimber/Warne Premier rib base stock in various lengths for various applications, and the system seems to work fairly well for single shot rifles especially.
The first pic shows the overall look, the second pic shows one possible recoil pin installation and the last pic shows the various original Kimber and Warne rings available for this size rib. This rib stock is slightly smaller than the still-available Talley-size rings & bases and is also the proper size to take any of the various tip-off style rings. This characteristic of taking tip-off rings IMO makes the Kimber/Warne size more versatile than the Talleys albeit not quite as readily available in recent years. It's also much daintier and IMO more attractive than any of the Weaver-size installations I've seen thus far, actually the rib is quite unobtrusive when the scope is removed. BTW this system ensures positive return-to-zero within no more than 1/2 (0.5) MOA variation, by actual shooting test. This system is almost identical to the old original G&H lever-release top mount.
This size rib stock is no longer made by Warne, however Brownell's sells aluminum rib stock in this size if you'd care for a lightweight alternative. I was lucky enough to have a friend who was kind enough to make me a selection of Warne-size steel stock in various lengths and configurations, so my own needs are squared away for the time being.
HTH, regards, Joe
