Choose quality scope rings
The strength, beauty and fitness of scope rings are the
three significant factors determining its quality. In an innovative
design, which also has rock-solid performance, scope rings are made from
a solid piece of steel with the top and bottom half perfectly mated.
By putting a synthetic pivoting insert within a steel
outer ring, your scope-to-ring surface area contact becomes virtually
100%. Such scope rings provide consistent accuracy, tighter grip,
and scratch and stress free mounting.
In improved version of scope rings, all components are
made of heat-treated nickel steel for rock solid durability. Windage
adjustment in the rings means your scope will be perfectly aligned
before you sight it, so you'll always have the maximum exit pupil
available.
Objective Diameter, action length, and barrel taper all
come into play when choosing the correct ring height to use in scope
rings. The appropriate ring height based on your Adjusted Objective
Diameter, or AOD are selected. The AOD is your scope's stated objective
diameter, adjusted by any necessary correction factors. With these
factors accounted for, you should be ready to choose the best ring
height for your application.
Low scope rings generally will accept up to
a 32mm or smaller scope objective diameter. Medium scope rings usually
accept up to a 42mm or smaller scope objective diameter. High scope
rings accept up to a 52mm or smaller scope objective diameter.
Extra-high scope rings will accept up to a 62mm or smaller scope
objective diameter. Single offset scope rings bring the scope back 1/2"
for eye relief. Double offset scope rings usually bring the scope back
1" for eye relief.
