Which low mount QD Weaver slot rings?

[philthygeezer]

I'm looking for an alternative to these low Weaver steel/aluminum low mount rings. Are there any other low Weaver-slot rings out there that don't start at medium height?

IIRC Warne makes them and Leupold PRW's as well, both good quality.

 

[Why not?]

The rings pictured are actually medium height. Lows are much thinner at the base.

This is correct. I just wanted to illustrate the type of ring that I've already got.

There's nothing wrong with these Weaver rings. I heard they actually hold a scope much better than most others. I just want to know what else is out there.

I'll check out the Warnes. Do the Leupolds offer any advantage for $89 a pair over $25-$30 for the Weavers?

Much sturdier ring. The thing about the Weavers is that they are prone to leaving marks on the scope and the scope can rotate when tightening which is a PITA trying to get the scope level. I have both Warn and PRW's, much better and worth the $ IMO

PRW rings and bases on a 700, rings are available with a QD lever as well. Have the QD version on a 44 mag and no issues.
