I need a strange animal indeed, a set of offset to the left scope rings for my k-31 clamp type mount. At present it leaves the scope on the rt side and I would like to center the scope if possible. Already bought and mounted the clamp type mount and don't want to drill the receiver so it is my only option short of sending it in for a 3-400 dollar custom one.

help appreciated.

There is no need to center the scope ,it works fine the way it is .Arnie

I share your pain (sorta) and just plain can not get a decent position behind the scope position with the scope clamped to the right of the receiver.

Talk to this guy, http://www.randolphmachine.com/rings.html and see what you can find. When my finances permit I will be ordering from him.
With regard to the previous replies, I know the setup works, it just plain does not work for me (and a few others). I have found that I need to crane my head into an uncomfortable position and can not get a decent cheek weld to shoot the rifle well with the scope offset to the right. I do not want to tap and drill the gun and may have found a supplier that will help make the gun fit me properly.

U nailed it. Cheekweld that far over is not for me AT ALL. We continue looking for something to move the scope over the barrel line of sight or at least close

Check the website I listed, about the best lead I have found so far.

Leftyboy......is that how you are shooting or something else? Another idea would be to approach a machinist and have a offset rail made, but that sounds a bit less sturdy/steady; the St.Marie mount is a fine setup....just not for me.

If you would, Dale, please check the rings against a 1" scope tube and see how it fits. Let us know, I don't mind a cheaper alternative if it fits and fits on a St. Marie mount. Look here http://www.swissrifles.com/~swiss-sights/

Looking at the mount at the link you provided I see that it looks to be a dovetail type mount instead of a picatinny/weaver type rail or mount. Maybe you can verify yours? The 1" offset flashlight/laser rings are for a 1" tube. I verified with a Redfield scope I have, and they offer the normal amount of available tension as other typical rings. (I provided a pic of the gap on the ring cap and body with the opposite side tightened down fully.) They also give what looks to be an exact 1" offset which, obviously could go either direction. They are set up to be installed on a picatinny/weaver type rail so verify if that type ring attachment will work with your rail. I bought these from CTD and they come 1 per box, so if they will work with your rail you will need 2.

Unfortunately I cannot attest to their strength with a scope, versus a flashlight or laser. I am kinda doubtfull as to your rail unless you can verify a picatinny/weaver style ring will work. I would also question proper ejection with the scope directly over the action, and maybe a more knowledgeable person can attest to this, but I seem to recall the sniper variants based on this action actually being canted in the stock to account for this, or something along those lines, but once again I'm far from the Swiss expert.

IIRC they were under $20 apiece when I bought them last year from CTD. Before I got too carried away I would try to verify positive ejection with the scope over the action. Then maybe you could add a picatinny/weaver type one-piece rail to the top of your dovetail, assuming the existing mount is soft enough to drill and tap. Or you could just leave the scope as is and try an add-on cheekrest, say one of the velcro styles, with it canted to the side so it puts your eye more inline with the scope while giving your cheek a proper rest.

HTH,
Dale

Ill post some pics of the rifle and scope mount tomorrow. possibly that can help in this issue. All comments r appreciated gentlemen. U have been very helpful.
