Sportsmatch HETO42C 1 inch 2 Piece High Extended Airgun / Rimfire 9-11mm Dovetail Scope Rings
Increases/reduces eye relief by 25mm.
Heavy recoil / springer rated
The Sportsmatch HETO42C mounts are precision-engineered in the UK for airgun and rimfire rifles with standard 9–11 mm dovetail rails.
Designed for 1″ scope tubes, these high-profile rings give the clearance needed for larger objectives while offering an extended reach—ideal if you need more forward or backward positioning to achieve perfect eye relief.
Made from high-grade aluminium with Sportsmatch’s secure double-hex screw caps, they deliver rock-solid clamping and hold zero even under spring-piston recoil.
The extended design also makes them a good choice for rifles with shorter rails or where eye relief is otherwise awkward to achieve.

Q: What does “extended” mean on these mounts?
A: It refers to the ring body design, which allows the scope to sit slightly further forward or backward compared to standard rings—solving eye relief issues.
Q: Will these fit a Picatinny rail?
A: No—these are made for 9–11 mm dovetail rails only. For Picatinny bases, choose a dedicated Picatinny model.
Q: Are they strong enough for spring-piston rifles?
A: Yes—Sportsmatch mounts are built to handle heavy recoil and are rated for springers.
Q: How much clearance will they give?
A: Being high profile, they provide good clearance for most larger objectives, but always check your rifle/scope combination to confirm fit.
