In this picture, two different rings are decribed as

30MM High Ruger Style W/1” Insert AI11059
30MM High Ruger Style W/1” Insert AI11061
They can't both be "high"

By clicking on the "buy now" button, we can see that AI11061 has another alias, "X-high".

That would clear up one mistake, but at this web site:

We have new aliases for the pair with the same pictures:
RUGER SYTLE HIGH RING 30MM 1 INCH QR02 1388-QR02
RUGER SYTLE LOW RING 30MM 1 INCH QR01 1388-QR01




 
Re: Confusion about ring heigth

Terms like "high" are meaningless unless you know the dimensions. Each and every manufacturer uses different dimensions for those terms, even among their own product lines!. Do the math, figure out what you need, dimension-wise, and then find out the actual height of the rings.

Forget "low", "medium", etc.
