This is a setup that I had used for 6,500 rounds on a 1998 Rem 700 LTR .308 w/ Mark 4 M1 3.5-10x40mm. It served me very well and took quite a bit of abuse.

Edited adding APA 30mm Low .750"

These I believe are the lowest in a picatinny configuration .......

.750's


And Cameron at Murphy's Precision can make a Rail thats pretty low also !

Thanks Ackleyfan! I updated the list. We have a new low!

I originally made this in 2010 and posted it on the old hide. I had to acquire and measure all the various bases. When the hide sold out I baled, but every once in a while I need to reference this list and have to go find it. I figured I'd post it on the Fire, as this is where I spend most of my time these days.

A very time consuming list you did a nice job putting it together ....very useful!

Another option is the American Rifle XLOW M10-1-00-30-20 at 0.79" or 0.20". I haven't used these, but reviews seem to range from positive to glowing. I might give a try.

Nice List. Thanks for putting it together.

Would like to hear your opinions if you do.

The ARC mounts will make you toss everything else away. Don't try them. It WILL get expensive.

Whats so special about them........

Don't mar scope. Takes about two minutes to get rings on rail, scope in rings and leveled with no rotation when you tighten down the clamp. Come in extry low and can sure help eye alignment with a rail and a stock with a lower comb. And have been rock solid on everything I've put them on.

Pretty nice attributes, have you had a chance to weigh a pair?

No rotation is a big plus.

Interested in the weight as well.

Someone enlighten me please. The American Rifle XLOW rings are 0.79" from top of the rail to the center-line of the optic or 0.20". What does the 0.20" measurement/height represent?

Received the following information from American Rifle today. The information won't copy and paste correctly, but all weights displayed are in ounces. The first weight is net weight and the second is shipped weight according to AR.

I asked if the weights were for a single ring or pair and am awaiting a response. My opinion is the weights are for a single ring.

Just got back to the ranch. I'll toss a naked set of 1" and 30mm in extry low and report.

30mm xlow 4.8oz for the pair
1" xlow 4.7 oz for the pair

For comparison sake a set of XTR sigs 30mm in low are 6.5oz with inserts. This is on Wifey's kitchen scale but it'll get you close.

According to AR, the weights listed above are for a pair.

We have a new LOW.

Ken Farrell 30mm Low Rings 0.735”

The distance from the top of the rail to the bottom of the scope tube.

0.79” - 0.59” = 0.20”
