Overview
These low-height scope rings are designed for hunters setting up a 1-inch tube optic on a Picatinny or Weaver mount. With a center scope height of 0.80 inches, they suit rifles where a compact, close-to-bore scope position is preferred. The Torx T-25 hardware and listed torque values provide clear installation guidance for a secure fit. At 1.58 ounces per ring, they add little bulk while keeping the setup straightforward for field use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Low ring height and a 0.80" center scope height may not provide enough clearance for larger objective bells or certain rifle setups.
- Designed for 1-inch scope tubes only, so they are not a fit for 30 mm or other tube sizes.
- Built for Picatinny/Weaver mounting, which limits compatibility with non-standard bases.
- Torque values are specified and should be followed closely, so installation is more precise than a simple hand-tighten setup.
