sharps4590,

First off you are not SOL.

As to cost much will depend on the type of claw bases that are on your gun. Some require that a locking mechanism be incorporated into the rings which will jack up the price. The most common scope mount setups seen on drillings have the locking mechanism incorporated into the rear base. Other considerations when pricing these things are your choice of scope and the distance between bases. Offset rings and the large diameter rings that locate on the body of a scope with a large object lens will raise the price a bit.

I buy my Recknagel rings from NECG and fit them to existing bases by myself but then again I have the equipment and tooling background to do so. There are other gunsmiths in different parts of the country that offer such services but the firm probably recommended most often is New England Custom Guns in Claremont, NH:

If I recall correctly NECG's fitting of rings to typical bases runs somewhere between $650.00 and $950.00 including rings. Please post a picture of your bases, perhaps others will chime in with other recommendations.

Regards,

Buchseman
