The Weaver 48350 Six-Hole Skeleton Rings deliver precision scope mounting with reduced weight and enhanced clearance for tactical and hunting applications. These 1-inch high rings feature an aircraft-grade aluminum construction with six strategically placed holes that cut weight while maintaining structural integrity.
What Makes This Different
The skeleton design removes material from non-critical areas, reducing overall weight by approximately 25% compared to solid rings while maintaining the same clamping force and stability. The six-hole pattern creates optimal weight distribution and provides visual confirmation of proper torque application. Each ring maintains full contact with the scope tube through precision-machined surfaces that won't mar expensive optics.
Key Features
- Six-hole skeleton design reduces weight without compromising strength
- 1-inch tube diameter accommodates most standard rifle scopes
- High height provides clearance for large objective lenses and iron sight co-witnessing
- Matte black finish eliminates glare and resists corrosion
- Cross-bolt design ensures consistent clamping pressure
- Compatible with Weaver and Picatinny rail systems
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction rated for heavy recoil calibers
Field testing demonstrates these rings maintain zero through temperature extremes and heavy recoil cycles. The skeleton cutouts provide access for cleaning and maintenance without scope removal. Competition shooters appreciate the weight savings during extended matches, while hunters benefit from reduced fatigue during long carries. The matte finish performs well in varying light conditions without creating unwanted reflections.
