Detachable 1-Inch Low Top Mount Rings

perfect for your Gordon, BHD, Blood Diamond clone for light mounting

Lower than MagPul Rings and V-Base. Cheaper than any other option.I purchased these rings specifically to attach a SureFire flashlight to an AR-15-style rifle. This review reflects that use ONLY, and is not necessarily applicable for use with a riflescope.I chose the Weaver Detachable 1-Inch Low Top Mount Ring because they are the absolute lowest (closest to bore/sights, or lowest height-over-bore) of any mounting method for CR123-powered lights. Mounted directly to the side of a railed forend, or on a Magpul MOE Scout Mount, or on a Magpul MOE Rail Light Mount, there are no options that are lower profile.The latter two mounts will accept a SureFire Scout Light body, or the Arisaka Scout body, (both fine tactical lights) and get closer to the bore, but only at a significant cost penalty.As the rings ship from Amazon, they will accept the Surefire 6P/9P body, Z41 (standard alloy) tailcap, or the Z59 ("clicky") tailcap. These lights are close to 1.00" diameter.The Surefire G2/G3 lights with the polymer body and polymer tailcap (my preferred light) are slightly larger in diameter. A 4-bolt scope ring (or polymer option like the VTAC Light Mount) will easily accomodate this, but with these Weaver Detachable 1-Inch Low Top Mount Rings it's necessary to procure longer 6/40 screws/bolts to allow the ring top half to secure the ~1.03". I found the screws here on Amazon, ASIN B00F333BP0. $6.68 for 100, enough to mount 50 lights on rifles. Cut down slightly with . Given that these rings are not designed specifically to accommodate flashlights, this is a small price to gain the low mounting height.

These rings are the lowest weaver style rings that I have been able to find and are the best available, in my opinion, in this price range. When installing these rings you really need some sort of device or way of verifying that the scope reticle is level because as you tighten the rings the scope is canted in the direction of the ring screws, and there is no way around this. You have to start with the reticle rotated slightly toward the opposite side of the ring screws and slowly tighten the ring screws evenly until you have them as tight as you want them and then check to see if level. If not, loosen the rings and start over. This may require several tries. If you exercise patience and are persistent you will eventually get it right. I personally found it very helpful to use the Segway reticle leveler to use as a reference tool to show whether the reticle is level or canted. You can't simply hold the rifle and trust your eyes to tell you if it is level because this is not precise. These rings are very strong and I highly recommend them, but the low rings will be too low in many applications. If that is the case you can go with the mediums and still be lower than most other manufacturers low rings. When in doubt, simply buy a pair of each and return the ones you don't need.

Mounted on a Marlin 1895CB and with a low profile Warne Maxima base, the scope sits as low as it can be mounted. This setup makes for a much better cheek weld as compared to a chin weld that's needed with other mounts and rings. Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the fact that these rings have a major design flaw that makes centering the scope a pain. As you tighten the two screws per scope ring, the entire scope itself twists towards that side. You need to off set the scope before you begin tightening the rings, this will in turn move the scope towards center as you tighten down the screws. Good luck getting the proper torque on the screws and still keeping the scope center. It's a pain!

Excellent Weaver quality. Finish smooth and consistent. The perfect compliment to a matte Leupold on an old Marlin.

I needed a very low mount for tha rifle/scope combo I was working with, I've used several weaver product before so I had no hesitation in trying these. They are about as low as you can go with out hitting the bottom of the turret housing on the scope base. You might be able to fit the corner of a credit card in the gab between my turret housing on my vortex viper and the base.

Mated to a 10/22 takedown and a Simmons scope. I can take the scope off the gun and the barrel off the receiver and it will return to zero within a minute-of-squirrel at 25 yards. I with the screws were retained but I knew they weren't when I bought them.Lowest rings you will find.Listen to what they say about having a hard time getting your reticle lined up. It's a little annoying if you don't do it right.I think the top reviewer has the steps right.

These are no low mounts. They are higher than my my mediums I was hoping to replsce. Money down the chute.
