The Weaver 48449 Detachable Top Mount Extension Rings provide the additional height needed for proper scope mounting over larger objective lenses and tactical accessories. These 1-inch extra high rings eliminate scope-to-rifle contact issues while maintaining rock-solid zero retention through multiple mounting cycles.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard height rings, these extension rings add critical clearance for scopes with 50mm+ objective lenses or rifles equipped with backup iron sights. The detachable design allows quick scope removal without losing zero, while the precision-machined aluminum construction maintains consistent clamping force. Each ring features a split-ring design that distributes pressure evenly around the scope tube, preventing damage to delicate optics.
Key Features
- Extra high profile provides clearance for large objective lenses up to 56mm
- Detachable design enables quick scope removal and remounting
- Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction for durability
- Matte black hard anodized finish resists corrosion and glare

These rings excel in tactical applications where scope removal may be necessary for transport or maintenance. The extra height accommodates modern variable power scopes with large objectives commonly used in precision shooting and hunting applications. The hard anodized finish withstands harsh environmental conditions while the aluminum construction keeps weight to a minimum.
