Description
Getting a scope mounted on a rimfire rifle should be simple, and that is exactly what these Talley rings are built for. The 38AL10L set is made for receivers cut with a 3/8" dovetail, which covers a lot of popular plinkers and hunting .22s like the Ruger American Rimfire, several Marlin and Savage bolt guns, Mossberg Plinksters, and the American variants of the CZ 452 and 455. They hold a 1" scope tube and sit at the low height, dropping your optic down close to the bore for a natural cheek weld and a clean, uncluttered look on the rifle.
What Sets the Talley 38AL10L Apart
Talley machines these from 7000-series aluminum, so you get a set that is light on the rifle without giving up strength. The vertically split design uses no moving parts and clamps directly to the dovetail grooves, which means there is no separate base to add height, weight, or another spot for things to work loose. Talley builds their rings to tight tolerances right off the machine, so lapping is neither needed nor recommended.
Mounting Your 1" Low Rimfire Rings
Installation is about as painless as it gets. The set comes with the attachment screws and an allen wrench, and the rings snug down onto the dovetail and around your scope tube in a few minutes. A dab of blue thread locker on the screws going into the receiver is a good habit, though Talley suggests leaving the ring screws dry. Snug everything evenly and you are ready to head to the range.
Owners consistently point to the fit, finish, and rock-solid hold as the reasons they keep coming back to Talley. If you want a low-profile, no-fuss mount that keeps your rimfire optic locked in place, this set earns its spot. Talley backs their products with a lifetime warranty against normal wear and tear.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles will the Talley 38AL10L rings fit?
These rings are cut for receivers with a 3/8" dovetail, which includes many popular rimfires like the Ruger American Rimfire, various Marlin and Savage bolt-action .22s, Mossberg Plinksters, and the American variants of the CZ 452 and 455. Keep in mind that 3/8" American and 11mm European dovetails look similar but are not the same, so measure your dovetail before ordering. If you are unsure, it is worth confirming your receiver spec first.
Do I need a separate base with these rimfire rings?
No. The rings clamp directly to the dovetail grooves machined into your receiver, so there is no separate base to buy or install. That keeps the setup light, low, and simple.
Do the Talley 1" low rings need to be lapped?
No. Talley machines these to tight tolerances and they come off the machine round, so lapping is unnecessary. In fact, lapping a vertically split ring can knock it out of round, so it is best left alone.
What height scope will work with the low rings?
The low height is meant to sit a 1" tube close to the bore for a clean, compact profile, which works well with the smaller objectives common on rimfire optics. If you are running a scope with a larger objective bell, check for clearance over the barrel before committing to the low set.
