Windage Adjustable Rings for Weaver Bases

I know that Redfield, Beuhler, Williams, and several others made windage adjustable bases and Sako and others made windage adjustable rings for their bases. But I think I recall adjustable rings for Weaver bases but I can't remember who made them. Any help?

Weaver makes their own. The Weaver Grand Slam Windage Adjustable rings.

Keep in mind that the "windage adjustable" Weaver(or Weaver style) rings don't have an allowance for alignment when making those adjustments. The end result is a kinked or dented scope tube if the "adjustments" are made.
A better option is the rings with eccentric inserts. Those won't damage your scope.
Thanks, all, for the advice and recommendations. I am trying to set up a "vintage" outfit consisting of a Remington 720 and an older Weaver K4. I want to keep it as close to period as I can; I don't like to see a 78 year old rifle with the new flat finish scope and rings on it. The rifle came to me with the proper Weaver bases on it and a set of older Weaver low rings. The scope is one I had. With the scope in place, the collimater shows the rifle shooting 16" to the left with all the windage adjustments taken up. I haven't shot it yet but I'd like it on the paper when I do. I've shimed the edges of the bases and got it lined up but, again, all the scope adjustments are used. I think Weaver makes some blued rings with windage adjustments that resemble the older rings so I'll try to get a set of those to try. They didn't make very many of those rifles so I don't think Redfield got around to making a base for them. That would be the answer!
Did you try swapping places with the rings and/or turning them 180*?
Mobuck: I thought of swapping the rings but thought it wouldn't help but after your suggestion, I tried it anyway. I centered the windage adjustments on the scope and swapped the rings and the colimater showed it now shooting to the right! So--it worked! Thanks for the hint.
