Overview

Built for mounting a 30mm optic on a Picatinny or Weaver-style rail, these extra-high rings are aimed at hunters who need dependable scope placement without unnecessary complexity. The precision-machined 6061 aluminum construction and Type 2 low-glare matte black anodized finish give them a clean, durable profile for field use. An integrated recoil lug helps keep the setup secure, while laser-engraved torque specifications make installation more straightforward. They suit centerfire rifles where extra height is needed for proper optic clearance.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Extra-high 1.50" height may be necessary for certain setups, but it is a more specialized fit than lower ring heights.
  • Designed for 30mm scopes only, so it will not suit optics with different tube diameters.
  • Compatible with Picatinny and Weaver-style rails, which means it is not intended for other mounting systems.
  • The lightweight 6061 aluminum construction is practical for mounting, but it does not imply the same characteristics as steel rings.
