Weaver Ring Mounts | 40 mm | Quick Release

The mounting height of rings is typically given as BH (Base Height) — measured from the top of the picatinny rail to the bottom of the scope tube (the saddle).

When calculating the total height (Center Height), you must add the radius of the scope tube to the BH measurement. For a 30 mm tube, the radius is 15 mm. For a 34 mm tube, the radius is 17 mm.

Formula: Center Height = BH + r

Remember that the picatinny rail itself raises the mounting point (typically 5-10 mm depending on the rifle model). This means that you can often choose a lower ring than you would otherwise need.

Rule of thumb: Choose the lowest ring height that still provides clear passage between the scope's objective and the barrel. A lower mount provides better balance and a more natural sight picture.

These rings have an internal diameter of 40 mm and fit riflescopes with a 40 mm tube.

Always check your riflescope's tube diameter before purchasing – it's listed in the riflescope's specifications or can be easily measured with a caliper.

This mount is made from steel. Steel is the classic choice and provides high stiffness and wear resistance. The material tolerates repeated mounting and disassembly without the contact surfaces deforming. Steel is heavier than aluminium, but for a ring mount the weight difference is minimal in practice.

This mount is blued. Bluing, also called black oxidation, is a chemical surface treatment that provides an attractive matte black finish and a degree of corrosion protection. It is the most traditional surface treatment for firearm parts. Bluing is less resistant than QPQ and requires a bit more care – a thin layer of oil after use in damp weather will keep the surface in good condition.

This mount is made for Weaver rails. Weaver is an older standard with narrower cross slots than Picatinny. Picatinny vs. Weaver: Picatinny and Weaver look similar but are not the same. The difference lies in the cross slots (recoil slots):
• Picatinny: Slots are 5.23 mm wide with a center spacing of 10.01 mm (fixed standard)
• Weaver: Slots are 4.57 mm wide with variable spacing (no fixed standard) A Weaver mount can in many cases also be fitted to a Picatinny rail, because the Weaver tab is narrower than the Picatinny slot. But a Picatinny mount does NOT fit a Weaver rail – the tab is too wide. This mount fits Weaver rails and most Picatinny rails. See compatible mounts: Scope mounts

The mounting is simple. The rings attach to the Picatinny rail and the scope is placed in the lower ring halves, after which the top halves are tightened. Manufacturer's recommendation:
• Torque for ring screws (top, M3.5): 1.8–2.0 Nm
• Torque for attachment to rail (M4): 2.0–2.5 Nm
• Ensure the scope is level and has the correct eye relief before final tightening A torque wrench is required for proper installation. Over-torquing can damage the scope tube. Mounting the scope: Read the guide here
