A friend of mine who is a rifle builder of some renown is rebarreling an old Rem 700 action for me (300WBY mag) and I'm going to mount an ATACR 5-25x56 but I've been wanting to drop the pic base for some reason. I fell in like with the NF direct mount before I saw that it doesn't come in 34mm for some dumb reason. Looking around I found the Hawkins "long range hybrid rings". Does anyone have any experience using these -- or any Hawkins rings?
 
Hawkins Precision are the best rings IMO, the only ones I use. I prefer the Long Range Hybrids with 25 MOA can't, they mount directly to the action which means no picatinny rail is needed. I currently have 3 pairs of Long Range Hybrids; 34mm with 25 MOA cant, 30mm with 25 MOA cant and 30mm with 0 MOA cant.

Thanks to the relevant posters. I found the set I needed at Red Hawk Rifles after talking to Hawkins: LR Hybrid 34mm 25moa high.

Looking forward to giving them a whirl.

Bigdude, was lapping necessary for your several sets of these rings?
