Hi all, I want to source this UTG 30mm offset QD mount. I want it to mount a scope on my Sa Vz.58, I have had a good hunt on the interwebs for a UK dealer who stocks it but with no luck. Curiously the model with 1" rings is stocked by a few places. Larue tactical does something similar but the price is a bit steep for me all things considered. I already have had some UTG rings before and they are not bad all things considered.
Anyway anybody able to help me out?
It is an:
UTG Integral 30mm Offset QD Mount, 4 Top Slots, 70mm Base
Part No. : M3S40070R4
Here is the web page entry on the UTG website:

Problem solved! After chatting to an RFD friend of mine he suggested I have a look at Hawke. A quick look at their website and I find they make a two piece set of scope rings that do the same job and are probably far better quality then anything from UTG Leapers. My RFD friend is dispatching them to me so alls well that ends well!
A special shout out to Blu who got back to me with a pm, much appreciated even if you couldn't help!
Anyhow this is what I am getting now, should do the job nicely!

Always glad to help out a fellow sportsman when I can. Unfortunately not in this case due to the stupid ITAR regulations. Glad to see you got something worked out mate, have fun.

Hi,
I can confirm the Hawke rings work well - I've done the same on my VZ to improve eye relief.
The only "improver" is that they are not especially low profile and do add the extra height to the scope.
Apart from that all good and no scope movement. I even rounded off one of the rail Torx and Hawke sent me one out FOC the next day.

I take it you did what I am planning and mounted it on the fore grip weaver rail. I have the side rail but it lifts the scope way too high.
