The Weaver 49042 Detachable Top Mount Rings deliver reliable scope mounting with quick-detach convenience for tactical and hunting applications. These 1-inch high rings feature precision machining and a matte black finish that eliminates glare while maintaining zero through repeated mounting cycles.
What Makes This Different
Unlike permanent ring mounts, the Weaver 49042 rings utilize a detachable top design that allows scope removal without tools while maintaining return-to-zero accuracy. The split-ring construction distributes clamping force evenly around the scope tube, preventing damage to delicate optics. Each ring features four cap screws torqued to 15-18 inch-pounds for consistent, secure mounting that withstands heavy recoil from magnum calibers.
Key Features
- Quick-detach top caps for tool-free scope removal and installation
- 1-inch tube diameter with high height for proper eye relief and clearance
- Precision-machined steel construction with matte black finish
- Compatible with standard Weaver and Picatinny rail systems

Field testing demonstrates these rings maintain zero through temperature extremes and heavy recoil cycles. The high height configuration provides adequate clearance for large objective lenses while positioning scopes at optimal eye relief distances. Law enforcement and military users appreciate the quick-detach feature for transitioning between optics and iron sights during training exercises.
