I know there is a similar thread running recently but didn’t want to hijack it.
I am putting together a new rifle that is going to be “relatively” light, not a flyweight but trying to save ounces where I can. I am however planning to have minimalist iron sights on it as a backup and thus want a tool less quick detach mount system.
I’ve looked at options from both Leupold and Talley, both look to be in the 6-8oz range between rings and bases. Does anyone make a lighter option? Obviously looking at individual rings and not a large one piece mount.
As an aside I’ll probably be getting a custom set of bases made, both to integrate a rear ghost ring and to be an exact match to the ring mount to help with return to zero.
