The Weaver 99688 Six-Hole Picatinny Rings deliver rock-solid optic mounting with enhanced stability through their innovative six-bolt design. These medium-height rings accommodate 1-inch scope tubes while providing optimal clearance for bolt-action rifles and AR-platform firearms.
What Makes This Different
The six-hole configuration sets these rings apart from standard four-bolt designs by distributing clamping force more evenly across the scope tube. This reduces stress concentrations that can damage delicate optics while maintaining zero under heavy recoil. The precision-machined aluminum construction weighs 3.2 ounces per pair, adding minimal bulk to your rifle setup.
Key Features
- Six-bolt design provides 50% more clamping points than standard rings
- Medium height (0.75") clears most bolt handles and ejection ports
- Matte black hard-anodized finish resists corrosion and glare
- Fits all MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny and Weaver-style rails
- Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction
- Cross-bolt design prevents ring rotation under recoil
- Accepts 1-inch diameter scope tubes with consistent 18-inch-pound torque spec
Field testing confirms these rings maintain zero through thousands of rounds across calibers from .223 Remington to .300 Winchester Magnum. The six-bolt system distributes stress evenly, protecting expensive optics from tube damage common with over-torqued two or four-bolt rings. Competition shooters report consistent point-of-impact retention through rapid-fire strings, while hunters appreciate the corrosion resistance during extended backcountry hunts.
