Rifle Scopes Lightest Rings

[blbennett1288]

What are the lightest 1.5” height 30/34/35mm rings on the market? Trying to reduce weight for NRL hunter and Mammoth.

I have NF Ultralite that have held up incredibly well. I would be a bit worried about trying to go for the pure lightest without extensively testing them. It would be unfortunate to get out there and have a shift because of trying to do extreme weight savings.

I run a few sets of the nightforce ultralight and have had zero issues.

But if it's a option the talley ultralight, leupold backcountry and hawkins all in 1 rings/bases will be the lightest. I use the talleys on my hunting rifles and have had zero issues.

Sounds like you're trying to smash a square peg through a round hole with that pig of an AI

Do yourself a favor and build yourself a fit for purpose rifle. May I suggest a Mausingfield?

Talley rings are very very Iightweight, have only used the combined base/ring mounts though.

NF ultra lites are my favorite scopes rings and what I've been trying to standardize on. Not for the weight bit they are well made, simple design, and repeatably RTZ if im playing musical scopes.

Near Manufacturing could probably make a one piece to your exact specs, maybe even out if titanium. Richard, the owner, is some sort of wizard.

Old-ass websites. They’re all his. Call him, believe me, use the phone.

Near Manufacturing

-The Original 25 MOA forward slope, long range scope base. Used by the US NAVY, US ARMY special operations, and the RCMP with integral recoil shoulder and MIL-STD- 1913 spec.

Man I am so far down the rabbit hole, already got a CF barrel for that pig. Thinking of switching from the Tangent to a Leupold Mark 5 just for weight savings

Just debond it (or if you have the erect penis version, unscrew it) and just take the action along. Use a stick and duct tape for a buttstock

Hardcore Rambo mode lol

You may be able to save a couple of ounces if you swap out all of the fasteners for titanium ones
