Hello. I have a beeman R9. What are the best scope rings for it. I’m having trouble with mine back of the gun. Thanks. Mike

BKL one piece are awesome but if you want something cheaper those UTG one piece mounts work great too for like 1/3 the price. The BKL mounts are nicer looking though

What are the best rings for a Beeman R9? This is like asking what is the best oil on a motorcycle forum.
Not quite sure what you mean by "having trouble with mine back of the gun". Am guessing you have scope/mount movement. Could be as simple as needing to properly torque the mounts. Don't know what you are using now, but you might want to consider mounts that have a recoil pin if the problem persists.

Sportsmatch UK are the best you'll find for 11mm dovetails. Especially springers. T04Cs i have them on probably 6 or 7 Weihrauchs.

I can quantify my arguments for the Sportsmatch rings. Sure there's others that will work but the Sportsmatch are definitely the best.

"Best" tends to be subjective to the shooter and his or her own favorites, we all have them, but after the first set of BKL Double Strap rings working very well for me on my HW95, I didn't think twice and bought 2 new sets for the 2 new Airmax scopes I bought for my Beeman R1 and R8.
I know many who swear by them, but you might read this thread from members of a UK Forum I belong to about Sportsmatch, since there seem to be quite a few saying they might well not be a good match for every rifle:

Sportsmatch issues
A few months ago, I removed a pair of Sportsmatch mounts from my 99 and found the nose of the clamps had been damaged by the dovetail, with a clean line being driven into the nose of the clamps and a burr left on the bottom edge of the clamp The clamp noses are simply too blunt to properly...

Good point. I read through the thread and some are certainly experiencing issues. I thought it best to check the ones I have on my PCPs. I also have a couple of 1 pc Sportsmatch fully adjustables and a couple of 2 pc sets not in use. There is not a problem with any of them. What I have work fine with FX, RAW, FWB, BSA, AA springers, R9 and a couple sets of BARSKA cantilever Picatinny to dovetail adapter mounts. A bad production run maybe? I'll certainly double check any more that I may get. Thanks for the heads up.

On my guns that have iron sights, all springers, I am getting to the point where I like the Warne QD rings. I know I cannot clamp them as tight as ones that use an allen wrench so I put a stop block behind one of the rings. This way I can quickly remove the scope if I want to use iron sights, which I seem to like more and more as I get older.

" BKL Double Strap rings working very well for me on my HW95".I Have Browning Leverage 22cal under-lever (B-46). I had to use BKL Triple Strap rings on it.

After reading the link Steve shared on the sm mounts. Checked a dampa mount that wasn’t being used at the moment and sure enough the adjustable side was very blunt and not allowing a good bite into the dovetail. I used the belt sander and some light filing to sharpen it up. Fits the dovetail much better.

Like the posters in the link said, it may not be an issue with every set and some may well not even notice unless for whatever reason they decide to move a scope around, but figured anyone considering a set should at least be aware it could possibly happen to them.
