Fit a 34 mm scope on a Weaver rail
A 34 mm scope on a Weaver rail: the ring size, the pattern to match and how ring height clears the objective.
Rings must match the tube. A 34 mm scope needs 34 mm rings; a ring cut for another diameter either will not close or lets the tube slip. The ring pattern must also match the Weaver rail.
Weaver rings clamp the Weaver slots directly and usually transfer to a Picatinny rail later, though Picatinny rings do not always fit a Weaver slot. Once the diameter and pattern match, ring height decides objective clearance: low rings for a small objective, taller rings as the bell grows.
