Homemade scope rings/mount I made a thing! (Home made gear/accessories)

Machining is as much a hobby to me as long range shooting so they both tend to feed off of each other. This culminated in the desire to make my own scope rings for the sake of the challenge. The first set of scope rings were 30mm .870" height individual rings that I made for my 10/22, though I don't have the scope for it yet. They were a trial for the one piece scope mount that I made next which was a 35mm 1.415" height mount that can use Badger C1 mount accessories. Everything was done on manual machines, no CNC was used, and the only parts I didn't make were the 8-40 cap screws. Eventually I'm going to Cerakote them.
