$$$ but they are  very nice, machined once they get your order, and you can do stainless steel or titanium. High quality

I wish I would have seen this option when I was setting up the leupold red dot on my knight. Looks like a great setup. I do like my setup but this would have taken a lot of guess work out of scope rings and such.

Just try a couple Weaver # 15 (48015).
They will be two piece bases that work fine.
They will probably be under 20.00.
Take your rifle with you to check hole spacing and contour.

 I put the Murphy on mine, works great with the Seekins Rings and RDS. :twocents:

Good leads above from the hive mind. I wanted to mount a Leupold Freedom RDS with Warne QD rings to ease cleaning. I started with Warne two-piece mounts, but the spacing of the rings on the RDS wouldn't allow it to drop into the slots. Boo. I eventually bought a 0 degree rail from EGW (https://egwguns.com/knight-bolt-action-muzzleloader-picatinny-rail-0-moa), and had it chopped in two and coated by the Cerakote King of Tacoma. Without chopping, it's *tough* to access the Red Hot nipple I'm running. I'm happy with the results, but might have gone a different direction if I had it all to do over.

You might consider putting some sort of heat/debris shield under your scope.  A lot of hot gases and chucks come out of that slot.  Even wrapping some aluminum foil underneath will help.

My Bighorn came with a 2-piece rail.  I guess they don’t do that anymore.

Thanks for the tip. My Bighorn is over 15 years old...maybe they hadn't started shipping with the mounts yet.  :chuckle: She only looks young because of the fresh makeup.

She's younger than mine.  I bought it Jerry's surplus; they went out business at least 15 years ago.

I have Leupold 2-piece bases on my old LK93. I believe they will fit any round receiver knight.

What MOA on the rail did you use on the Murphy rail for the big horn? And what set of seekins rings?
