[ChrisAU]

TPS super lows the only thing out there? Mounting a 3.6-18x44 MK5HD on a bolt action rifle.

I did the same thing when i got a mk5 , i wanted the lowest rings, and the tps were as low as i could find also, was hoping joplin would do some at apa, his super low rings are awesome, i ended up with the tps for now, heres a reference pic on a 20 moa rail for a visual

Hawkins just started making 35mm rings, the lows are .88 I believe

Seekins makes a .95 ring in 35mm

Looks like they are only doing mediums for now.

Nope I just ordered a set of lows this morning directly from Hawkins, they offer 20 percent off for Leo/mil BTW

Awesome, I see now, though it shows available for back order. Did they give you a lead time idea?

Are the TPS super low 35mms .82 or .95? I sent them an email asking for clarification, the in stock steel alloy rings say "35mm – Super-Low: .950″ (24.1mm)", while the out of stock super low aluminums (yes the 35mm page) says "30mm – Super Low: .820″ (20.8mm). "

So one of those is obviously a typo, and if I look at the 30mm super low I see "30mm – Super Low: .820″ (20.8mm)." - Which this leads me to believe that their 35mm super lows are in fact .95, and that the .92" Seekins and now .885" Hawkins would indeed be lower. As well as the .94 ARCs...

TPS super low 35mm are .92..... Seekins low 35mm are .95

I've been thinking about selling my TPS, PM me if your interested.

Thank you for that, can't typo/fudge those numbers. I'll probably order Hawkins .885, thanks though!

I've narrowed my ring choices down to the low ARC M10's or the new Hawkins Ultralight Lows. I have the bases that came with my Cooper, and I also have a Talley rail. My current setup of 30mm Talley LW mediums gives me a sight height of 1.75". I have calculated that on the factory bases my sight height with the M10's would be 1.735", while with the Hawkins it would be 1.68". IF I need the rail for forward/aft movement of the scope for proper eye relief then add .225" to those, which I hope I don't have to do and don't believe I'll have to.

I believe the weights of the Hawkins and and ARC M10's will be similar, I like the level of the Hawkins but I also like the simplicity of the ARC's. They also appear very easy to add witness marks to so I can tell if screws have loosened, which is a paranoid thing I like to do.
