These work absolutely like a champ, I use them on nearly all of my dovetail airguns. (Have all my scopes outfitted with pica mounts, so as to have the most versatile use. i.e. flexibility to exchange scopes and reddots.)Anyone ever use these type of scope ring adapters?
I recently picked up a Arken scope with a 34 mm tube.
Id like to install the scope on a rifle with a 11mm dove tail...
Not many options for scope rings.
I see adapters like these, and unfortunately, it might be my best option.
Anyone have a better idea?

Although the second post(er) gives a good alternative, there is absolutely no reason why a 34mm scope could not be used with these, as the clamping force excerted by the mounts is what keeps them in place. The only time it will not be secure, is when the dovetail is smaller than 11mm. But then the riflemaker did not do a good job of adhering to the standard (for dovetail being 11mm (and sometimes 13mm), but in any case NOT less than 11mm.
The most likely problem when people say is they are too loose is they can be a bit ‘difficult’ to install on the dovetail. The fix is simple: Fully open the picatinny mounts, install the adapters in the mount, then put the scope on the dovetail, and lightly PRESS DOWN on the scope while tightening the picatinny clamp. The idea is that the adapter grips the dovetail fully seated, and not halfway on the sharp edge.
