Shop scope rings at No Boring Guns for secure riflescope mounting across hunting, precision shooting, and tactical applications. Quality rings for rifle scopes ensure proper alignment, maintain zero under recoil, and protect expensive optics from damage.
Precision scope rings consist of two main components: the base that attaches to your rifle’s mounting system and the rings that clamp around the scope tube. Most modern systems use either Picatinny or Weaver rail interfaces, though direct-to-receiver mounts remain common for certain platforms. Ring height determines scope positioning relative to the bore, affecting cheek weld and enabling clearance for larger objective lenses.
Choosing Riflescope Rings
Height Selection
Ring height must accommodate your scope’s objective lens diameter while maintaining proper eye position behind the ocular. Low rings work for scopes with compact objectives, keeping the optic close to the bore for better cheek weld on traditional stocks. Medium and high rings become necessary as objective lens diameter increases, particularly on rifles with large-diameter barrels or when using scope models with larger adjustment turrets. Test fitting before final installation prevents discovering clearance issues at the range.
Mounting Interface Compatibility
Picatinny rails feature wider slots and different spacing than Weaver systems, though many rings work with both. Direct mount systems attach to specific receiver configurations without requiring separate rail installation. Quick-detach mechanisms allow optic removal and reinstallation while returning to zero, useful for hunters who need to transition between iron sights and magnified optics. Cantilever mounts position scopes forward on AR platforms, while two-piece rings offer adjustment flexibility during installation.
Tube Diameter Matching
Scope rings must match your riflescope’s main tube diameter exactly. Standard measurements include 25.4mm (1 inch), 30mm, and 34mm, with 35mm appearing on some high-end tactical scopes. Larger diameter tubes allow greater internal adjustment range and improved light transmission, but require appropriately sized mounting hardware. Using incorrect ring diameter damages scope tubes and prevents secure mounting.
