I am running into an issue with rings for a S&W Stealth Hunter. The rear cutout for a scope base has little room for a scope base to attach to. Basically a scope ring with a .75" base is too wide. Are there and narrow width scope rings that might work? Picture:

I dont know if there would be any strength issues but the rails of Marlin 22 and 17 calliber rifles are narrower. You might look into a ring that attaches to those. I know they are dovetail type rails but maybe something to look at.
Guns dont kill people, people kill people.

Thanks again.

Check out the Weigand Mag rings, they just might fit. They measure 1/2" wide.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

PaCrossbow, I have a S&W Hunter. Very similar to your Stealth. I wish I could give you a name of the rings on mine. They are 5/8" and just do work. I had these laying around and got lucky.
They came out with the Stealth after I got mine. At first I really wanted that model. Now, you could not pry mine from my hands! Both are great guns by S&W!

looks like S&W finally came up with an answer to the ruger super black hawk hunter.

The Millet "angle-lock" rings are pretty narrow. All the r&d that went into that gun, and they missed that? Hmmm!
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

In the article that Ravenman gave the link to it said they used Leupold "Magnum" rings. Look like normal Leupold QR rings to me.

Thanks for the link, it was a good article. In the article that Ravenman gave the link to it said they used Leupold "Magnum" rings. Look like normal Leupold QR rings to me. Vance, I noticed that too. If you look at the pictures, on page 48 of that article, you will see that he then switched to Leupold PRW rings to shoot with. Speaking of the PRW rings, they are .75" at the base and .6" at the scope (I have them here and was going to use them until I noticed the base width). Thanks again for the help and information.

This looks alot like my S&W .44 master Hunter. It was a limited run and I have one! Mine factory ported is d/t under the sight like the normal N-frames. I have it mounted with a 4X Leupold and it is one fine piece.

S&W has used those "cross slotted" barrels many times. It's nothing new. Pacrossbow, Weigand Combat "Magnum" rings would also be my 1st try. I use use them on a Mod 83. They're thinner than most.

BINGO, Thanks for the information. I looked at Weigand Rings and there is one issue. For the 44 MAG they recommend three rings. The distance between the scope mount cutouts isn't far enough to use three rings. Basically the adjustment dials are too big to fit between two rings next to each other (I made two drawings to show what I am referring to below). I heard back from Smith & Wesson and they stated that Warne rings will work (they even sell them on their website). I have a set of Warne's on the way and received another set of rings that work as well (a gentleman on another message board sent me them). Thanks again everyone for all the help, I appreciate it.

I think you will find that the Warnes will hold fine with two rings. I used 2 of them on my mod 29 on my red dot sight for about 6 yrs. Standard load was a 320gr @ 1325-1350fps. It digested probably close to 1k of these rounds along with light loads & never moved once.

That gun has a little more weight than my 629. The recoil is pretty mild IMO. You won't have any problems with 2.
