The Hawke Precision Steel Ring Mounts (Model 23001) are a matched two-piece mounting system engineered to secure 1-inch riflescopes to standard firearm rails. Designed for high-shock applications, these mounts interface directly with Weaver and Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) recoil cross-slots. Solid machined steel construction provides rigid optic retention and sustained zero-retention across heavy-recoil centrefire calibres and high-vibration spring-piston air rifles.

Key Features

• Solid Machined Steel: Delivers high structural rigidity to prevent ring flex or stretching under heavy recoil.
• Double Torx Ring Caps: Dual Torx T15 cap screws per ring half ensure uniform clamping pressure and eliminate optic slip.
• 1/2-Inch Hex Nut Clamping: Robust 8-32 thread crossbolt clamp anchors firmly into standard rail slots for a repeatable, secure mount.
• Recoil-Rated Performance: Built to maintain optic alignment on high-recoil hunting rifles and magnum calibres.

Who is the Hawke Steel 1" Medium Mount for?

• Centrefire Hunters and Target Shooters — Requiring a 1-inch (25.4 mm) scope ring mount with a 41 mm overall height that clears standard objective lenses up to 44 mm while maintaining precise zero-retention under field conditions.
• High-Recoil Rifle Shooters — Relying on a rigid 149 g (5.3 oz) solid steel 1-inch scope ring mount anchored by a 1/2-inch hex nut to withstand heavy shock loads that cause lightweight aluminium mounts to slip.

Less suitable for: Rifles featuring 9–11mm dovetail receivers (requires a dovetail-specific ring or adapter base), optics with 30 mm or 34 mm main tubes (requires 30mm/34mm ring mounts), scopes with large 50 mm or 56 mm objective bells (requires high or extra-high scope rings to prevent barrel contact), or weight-critical backcountry setups (better served by lightweight aluminium scope rings).
