Well I am looking at trying to find some super low scope rings. Right now the lowest I can find are Burris Xtreme Tactical Rings. Anyone know of some good manufacturers of low rings, or is this something I am going to need to get custom made? Thanks for any info.

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
For 30mm scopes, I think Seekins low rings are about as low as it goes at 0.82" from rail surface to scope centerline.

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
Any suggestions on a company that can possibly custom make me some that are super low? Most of the ones I am finding are for 30mm sadly.

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
TPS makes a super low ring (.820")

If that does not work try Murphy precision. I doubt you will find anything lower than TPS though......

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
Thanks for all yalls ideas, I really do appreciate it. I am finding out alot of new company I had no idea were around. I did found a mount that is alittle lower than the TPS actually. Have you heard much about these rings? Burris Zee Weaver?

Once again mixed reviews. I did see some good reviews from some Benchrest guys however.

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
I have had a couple pairs Burris signature zee, they are okay. I would only use them on a .22 or other non critical application. I am sure they would work but there are much better choices out there!
What are you trying to mount?

I have an unusual rifle, a precision Mosin Nagant with a heavy barrel. The rail is abnormally high on the receiver, so I am trying to compensate for that with super low rings. I can literally sit the scope on the rail with no rings and still have about 1/8th of an inch between the bell and barrel.

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
So I decided to go with the Burris Zee Rings, I called the guys at Near and they told me they are the lowest on the market. Did I fuck up? If so its only a $30 mistake. Anyone have much experience with them?

Sounds like you need a scope with a bigger bell.

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
I have the same issue, and can’t imagine we are the only ones. With these 34mm tubes these lower rings are much more likely to work. Must be a something from a manufacturing standpoint that they can’t get anything much under 9/10th of an inch.

I'm actually looking for low 34mm rings, as well. Best I can find is Murphy's with .87" rings and APA with .856" rings. I may wait for the APA's to come back in stock. Does anyone else know of any sub .900" 34mm rings?

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
Ken Farrell can do custom orders. Give em a call and see if they can make lower 34mm. If they can I'd recommend deleting the lightening slot on the caps. Leave more bearing surface for gripping.

There has to be something between the top of the rail and bottom of the scope tube; some "meat" for the clamp screws or crossbolt to pass through. That's what establishes a lower limit on ring height of around 0.150-0.200". Obviously, larger scope tubes simply make matters worse by raising the scope centerline accordingly.

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
American Rifle Co. makes a 30mm ring that's 0.787" & a 34mm ring that's 0.94
30/20 and 34/24 are the models IIRC

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
Thanks for the lead on the American Rifle Co. rings!

I might have to try a set of their X-low rings the next time I set up a hunting rifle with a small objective.

Midway USA. I had to settle for aluminum. Looks like I got the last set of TPS.

Re: Ultra Low Scope rings?
Drudging this back up. Does anyone have experience with the Super Sniper scope rings? I found some good rings for my old scope which was a 1inch scope, now that i am getting a new scope I need rings for a 30mm and SWFA's super sniper ones seem to be the lowest. Thanks for any info.

Farrel 30MM are the lowest I can find. I need a set of 34mm that are .800 to .850 cant find anything under .920 in stock.
I'm mounting an ATACR 4-16x 42 on a bolt action and nothing gives me the look/height I want.

This thread is from 2013, may pay to start a new one.
Talley usually have extra low ring options.
