Advice on a scope mount needed please

[Russell b]

Hi, I'm a new enthusiast and I have bought a lovely HW97k with quite a good scope. Trouble is the mounts are a bit rubbish and they are creeping a fair bit. I want to replace them with a one piece with a retaining pin to stop the creep. The scopes 1" and I quite like the idea of a high mount so I'm not holding then rifle up quite so high. Have looked at sport match but would welcome any input. My local shops are city air weapons in solihull and the country store in shustoke but I could mail order.

Really appreciate views of you guys cos I only want to buy it once

Sportsmatch mounts are the way to go, what scope are you mounting ? the SP mounts should not move if you nip them up, but not over tight, be careful of the retaining pin, it may need to be tapped back in to the mount abit, as some times its set to long and can mark your rifle if your not careful. If you buy the mounts from a shop, ask them to set the pin for you and ask for advice, on how much to tighten them.
