CHOOSING THE RIGHT MOUNTING RINGS
Now that you’ve chosen your rifle scope, the next step is selecting the correct mounting rings. This is just as important as choosing the scope itself as the wrong rings simply won’t fit, and even the best scope won’t perform properly if mounted incorrectly.
There are three key things you must match correctly:
- Tube diameter
- Rail type
- Mount height
Get these right and your setup will be solid, aligned and reliable from day one.
1. Tube Diameter (Most Important)
Your mounting rings must match the diameter of your scope tube.
- 1 inch (25.4mm)
- 30mm
- 34mm
These are not interchangeable. Always check your scope specifications before choosing rings.
2. Rail Type (What Your Rifle Has)
You must match the mounting system on your rifle.
- 11mm Dovetail Rail – Most common on UK air rifles.
- Picatinny Rail – Wider, squared rail system often found on tactical-style rifles.
Dovetail and Picatinny mounts are completely different and are not interchangeable. Always check your rifle’s rail type before choosing.
3. Mount Height
Mount height determines how high your scope sits above the rifle.
- Low
- Medium
- High
The correct height depends on your objective lens size (40mm, 44mm, 50mm etc.), magazine clearance and personal preference. For most air rifle setups with 40–44mm objectives, medium mounts are usually ideal.
One-Piece vs Two-Piece Mounts
Two-piece mounts are the most common and work perfectly for most air rifles.
One-piece mounts offer additional rigidity and can be particularly useful on spring-powered rifles due to their double recoil. Many one-piece mounts also include a recoil stop pin for added security.
For spring rifles especially, a mount with a recoil stop is highly recommended.
function toggleCollapspixie_collapse_2047075697() { document.querySelector(".pixie_collapse_2047075697").classList.toggle("opened"); }
Spring vs PCP Considerations
Spring-powered air rifles produce both forward and rearward recoil. This can cause mounts to creep backwards over time.
If you are using a spring rifle, look for:
- A recoil stop pin
- A solid clamping system
- Strong build quality
PCP rifles are far less demanding on mounts.

FAQ – Mounting Rings
What size rings do I need? Match the ring size to your scope tube - 1 inch, 30mm and 34mm are most common.
How do I know if my rifle is dovetail or Picatinny? Most traditional UK air rifles use 11mm dovetail rails. Tactical-style rifles may use Picatinny. Check your rifle specifications if unsure.
Do I need high mounts? Only if you have a large objective lens or clearance issues. Medium mounts suit most air rifle scopes.
Can I use adapters? Dovetail-to-Picatinny adapters exist, but using the correct mount for your rail is always preferable.
What happens if I choose the wrong rings? They simply won’t fit properly. Tube diameter and rail type must match exactly.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES
Now that your rifle scope and mounting rings are sorted, it’s time to complete your setup with the right accessories.
Accessories aren’t just add-ons, they protect your investment, improve accuracy, make transport easier and ensure you can shoot consistently and safely.
The key is choosing what suits how and where you shoot.
BAGS, CASES AND SLINGS
Protecting your rifle is essential, especially when transporting it.
- Padded rifle bags or hard cases for safe storage
- Secure zips and reinforced stitching
- Correct internal length for your rifle
- Sling attachment points if needed
A quality bag protects your investment, while slings make carrying your rifle more comfortable during pest control or longer sessions outdoors.
function toggleCollapspixie_collapse_1037100394() { document.querySelector(".pixie_collapse_1037100394").classList.toggle("opened"); }
BIPODS, TRIPODS, RESTS AND BAGS
Stability equals accuracy.
Bipods & Tripods
- Height adjustment range
- Weight and portability
- Attachment method (stud mount, Picatinny etc.)
- Whether you prioritise compactness or maximum stability
Tripods offer excellent stability for varied distances. Bipods are lighter and more compact.
Shooting Rests & Bags
- Sand-filled or adjustable rests
- Front and rear bag combinations
- Stable base for consistent grouping
Ideal for bench shooting, zeroing and improving consistency.

CHARGING EQUIPMENT (For PCP Rifles)
If you’re using a PCP air rifle, you’ll need a charging solution.
Compressors
- Convenient for home use
- Ideal for frequent shooters
- Faster refill times
Pumps
- Budget-friendly option
- Physically demanding
- Best for occasional use
Choose based on how often you shoot and how convenient you want refilling to be.
function toggleCollapspixie_collapse_1669320863() { document.querySelector(".pixie_collapse_1669320863").classList.toggle("opened"); }
PELLETS
Your pellet choice affects accuracy more than most people realise.
- .177 – Flatter trajectory, popular for target shooting
- .22 – Larger pellet, often preferred for pest control
Every rifle prefers different pellet brands, so testing a few types is recommended to find the most accurate option for your setup.
function toggleCollapspixie_collapse_1345329974() { document.querySelector(".pixie_collapse_1345329974").classList.toggle("opened"); }
TARGETS
Targets help you practise and improve.
- Paper targets for precision and grouping
- Metal knockdown targets for reactive shooting
- Sticker targets for high visibility
If you’re zeroing your rifle, paper targets are essential.
function toggleCollapspixie_collapse_1256821887() { document.querySelector(".pixie_collapse_1256821887").classList.toggle("opened"); }
CLEANING TOOLS
Keeping your barrel clean helps maintain accuracy.
Air rifles don’t require constant cleaning, but periodic maintenance improves consistency and performance.
function toggleCollapspixie_collapse_102974311() { document.querySelector(".pixie_collapse_102974311").classList.toggle("opened"); }
BUBBLE LEVELS
A small accessory that can make a big difference.
Bubble levels attach to your scope and help prevent rifle cant (tilting). Even slight cant can shift your point of impact at longer air rifle distances.
Especially useful for target shooters and anyone stretching beyond 35–40 yards.

FAQ – Accessories
What accessories do I actually need to start? A good rifle bag, quality pellets and safe charging equipment (for PCP rifles) are the essentials.
Do I need a bipod? Not essential, but it improves stability, especially for pest control or zeroing.
Is a compressor better than a pump? For regular PCP shooting, yes. Pumps are more affordable but require physical effort.
How important are pellets? Extremely. Pellet choice can dramatically affect grouping and consistency.
Do I need cleaning tools straight away? Not immediately, but they are worth having for periodic maintenance.
