BKL 274 1″ Dovetail Scope Rings – Medium (20mm Height) Offset Single Strap
BKL “Medium” height = 20 mm base-to-ring (similar to many brands’ High mounts)
BKL-274 2 PC Single Strap Offset 1 inch Medium Dovetail Scope Rings
BKL-274 comes with Model 257 and is designed to increase eye relief adjustment on receivers that have very little dovetail or where bolt is too far forward.
- Available in Matte Black.
- Also available in 30mm, item #BKL-374
Although BKL class these rings as “Medium” height, the actual measured height is 20 mm from base to ring. In practical terms, this is similar to what many other brands describe as High mounts.
If you are comparing across brands, use the 20 mm measurement rather than the BKL height label to ensure correct clearance for your scope and rifle setup.
Tip: Always choose mounts by measured height (mm) rather than “medium/high” labels, as naming varies between brands.

Q: Are these rings high or medium height?
BKL class these rings as “Medium” height within their own product range. However, the actual measured height is 20 mm from base to ring, which in practical terms is similar to what many other brands call High mounts. When comparing across brands, always use the 20 mm measurement rather than the height label.
Q: What does 20 mm base-to-ring height mean in practice?
The 20 mm measurement refers to the distance from the top of the dovetail rail to the bottom of the scope ring. This gives more clearance than typical “medium” mounts from other brands and is useful for scopes with larger objectives, thicker barrels, or raised cheek pieces.
Q: How do these compare to Hawke or other brands’ heights?
As a rough guide:
-
Hawke 1″ Medium ≈ 13 mm
-
Hawke 1″ High ≈ 22 mm
The BKL 274 at 20 mm sits much closer to a High mount in real-world terms, even though BKL label it “Medium”.
Q: What rifles are these rings suitable for?
These rings are designed for 11 mm dovetail rails, commonly found on air rifles and rimfire rifles. Always check your rail type before ordering.
Q: What does “offset” mean on these rings?
The offset design shifts the scope slightly forward or backward to help achieve correct eye relief, which is useful on rifles with short or awkward mounting space.
Q: What does “single strap” mean and is it suitable for all rifles?
Single-strap rings use one clamping strap per ring. They are ideal for air rifles and low to moderate recoil setups. For heavier recoil platforms, dual-strap designs are usually preferred.
Q: Will these clear larger objective lenses?
The 20 mm height provides more clearance than most medium mounts, making them suitable for many larger objective scopes. Always check your scope’s objective diameter and barrel profile for guaranteed clearance.
Q: Should I choose these if I’m unsure between medium and high mounts?
If you are between sizes, the 20 mm height offers a safer margin for clearance than most “medium” mounts from other brands. Using the actual measurement is the best way to avoid fitting issues.
