Contessa Pair of Rings, 25.4 mm

• 1 inch ring diameter: Built for 25.4 mm (1 inch) scope tubes, this ring pair provides the correct fit for classic hunting optics and many traditional riflescope designs, helping maintain secure clamping without improvised inserts.
• Steel construction: The steel body gives these rings the rigidity needed for dependable scope support, which helps the optic stay aligned under repeated recoil and regular field use.
• Contessa Ø 8 mm interface compatibility: Designed for the Contessa Ø 8 mm interface, these upper ring parts let owners replace worn or damaged components while keeping the original mounting system in service.
• Black finish: The black surface keeps the rings visually discreet on a hunting or sporting rifle and matches the appearance of most modern scope mounts and optics.
• Zero extension design: With KR 0.0 mm extension, this ring set keeps the optic in the standard mounting position, which is useful when the rifle and scope already provide correct eye relief without offset.

About the Contessa Spare Parts Series

Contessa Spare Parts is the manufacturer’s replacement-parts line for keeping existing mounting systems in service rather than replacing a complete mount. Within this range, spare rings are listed separately from Contessa’s regular scope-ring families, making it easier to match a specific upper component to an existing base or interface. The series also includes related small parts such as screws for rings and rails, so it is aimed at shooters, hunters, and gunsmiths who need to restore a mount to working order with the correct factory component.

In Contessa’s catalog, these products appear as SP ring sets and cover several common tube diameters, including 30 mm, 34 mm, 36 mm, 40 mm, and 1 inch. That makes the series especially relevant for users with established optics setups who want to preserve fit and compatibility. The design approach is straightforward: factory-made replacement parts, matched to Contessa mounting geometry, with the same practical focus on secure optic support and clean integration that defines the company’s broader mount range.

About the Contessa Pair of Rings, 25.4 mm

The Contessa Pair of Rings, 25.4 mm is a replacement upper ring set intended for optics with a 25.4 mm (1 inch) tube. It is best suited to shooters who already use a compatible Contessa mounting platform and need the correct ring size for a scope change, a repair, or a rebuild of an existing setup. Because it is made for the Contessa Ø 8 mm interface, it fits into the manufacturer’s mounting ecosystem without the compromises that can come from adapting non-matching parts.

The use of steel is important here. For scope rings, material stiffness directly affects how securely the optic is supported, especially on rifles that see repeated recoil or frequent transport. A steel ring pair helps maintain clamping consistency and supports long-term durability in a part that is exposed to tightening force, vibration, and weather. The black finish keeps the appearance understated and consistent with most riflescopes and mount bases.

This version uses KR 0.0 mm extension, so it keeps the optic in a standard, non-offset position. That matters when the rifle stock geometry and scope length already provide proper eye relief, as it avoids shifting the optic unnecessarily. In practice, this makes the ring set a sensible choice for maintaining an existing mounting position while converting or restoring a rifle to a 1 inch hunting optic.

About Contessa

Contessa was founded by Stefano Contessa in 1974 in Marcheno, in Italy’s Valtrompia region. The company began as a maker of precision mechanical components, a background that still shows in its focus on tight tolerances and practical mechanical design. Contessa is based in Marcheno, Brescia, Italy, and in December 2017 it moved to a new factory.

Today, the company specializes in mounting solutions for hunting and shooting optics, including Picatinny rails, scope rings, dovetail mounts, and quick-detach mounts. In the early 2000s, it introduced Simple Black, its first scope-mount line using patented mechanics. Contessa’s range now covers mounts for both rifle scopes and red-dot sights, with an emphasis on precise fit, repeatable attachment, and Italian-made production.
