The Durasight Z-2 Alloy Vertical Split Weaver Scope Rings - See Thru Silver (Model DS301S) are high-profile mounting rings designed to secure 1-inch (25.4 mm) riflescope tubes to standard Weaver-style cross-slot rails. Constructed from proprietary molded Z-2 zinc-aluminum alloy, these rings deliver roughly 50% more tensile strength and rigidity than standard aluminum while maintaining a lightweight total packaged weight of 0.18 to 0.20 kg. Engineered with a hollow base-to-tube geometry, the see-thru design preserves an open line of sight beneath the mounted optic, allowing shooters to use factory iron or fiber-optic sights without detaching the scope.

Key Features

  • Dual-Sightline Capability: Features an integrated see-through tunnel beneath the optic cradle, enabling rapid target acquisition using open iron sights for close-range brush encounters while keeping the magnified optic zeroed.
  • Z-2 Alloy Construction: Provides approximately 50% higher tensile strength and structural rigidity compared to standard aluminum rings, resisting deformation under magnum recoil loads.
  • Vertical Split Clamping: Distributes uniform radial clamping pressure around the 1-inch tube body to prevent scope crimping and slippage.
  • Grade 8 Torx Hardware: Includes high-tensile Torx fasteners and a matching Torx wrench to maintain zero under heavy centerfire and muzzleloader recoil.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat: Finished in industrial silver powder coat to match stainless steel rifle barrels and silver scope receivers.

Who is the Durasight Z-2 Alloy Vertical Split Weaver Scope Rings - See Thru Silver for?

  • Hunters needing instant transition between iron sights and a magnified scope for brush encounters — who require a see-thru scope ring that mounts a 1-inch (25.4 mm) main tube while keeping an open sight tunnel clear for immediate open-sight shooting.
  • Muzzleloader shooters using standard Weaver-base setups — who require high-tensile Grade 8 hardware and a rigid Z-2 alloy structure that maintains its zero against heavy-recoil inline black powder loads while weighing only 0.18 to 0.20 kg packaged.

Less suitable for: Riflescopes with objective lens diameters larger than 44 mm, or optics featuring 30 mm or 34 mm main tubes, which require dedicated high solid rings or a larger 30 mm mounting system instead.
