The Hawke Precision Steel 1" 2-Piece High Ring Mounts with Hex Nut (Model 23002) provide a rigid optic mounting platform engineered from solid high-grade steel. Designed to fit 1-inch (25.4 mm) riflescope main tubes, these rings interface directly with standard Weaver and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails. The high profile creates sufficient clearance above rifle barrels and actions for scopes fitted with large objective bells, typically accommodating 50 mm to 56 mm lenses. Fastened with double Torx T15 screws on each top cap and a threaded steel cross-bolt with an external hex nut base clamp, this 2-piece mounting system secures optics against the severe shear forces of heavy centerfire and magnum calibres.

Key Features

• Solid Steel Construction: Machined from solid high-grade steel with a matte black anti-reflective finish, providing high structural rigidity and recoil resistance at a total set weight of 159 g (5.6 oz).
• Double Torx Top Caps: Utilises dual T15 Torx fasteners on each ring half to maintain uniform clamping pressure across the 25.4 mm tube circumference.
• Hex Nut Base Interface: Uses an external steel hex nut and heavy-duty cross-bolt to deliver precise torquing to Weaver and Picatinny rail slots using standard field tools.
• High Optic Clearance: High-profile height accommodates larger riflescope objective bells (commonly 50 mm to 56 mm) to prevent barrel and action contact.

Who is the Hawke Precision Steel 1" High Ring Mount for?

• Magnum Calibre Centerfire Hunters — Machined from solid steel at a weight of 159 g (5.6 oz), this 1-inch high scope ring mount withstands the severe recoil of standard to magnum centerfire cartridges while providing the physical clearance required for large 50 mm to 56 mm objective lenses.
• Target and Precision Rifle Shooters — Engineered with a dedicated cross-bolt and hex nut base clamp that securely locks 25.4 mm riflescopes into Picatinny or Weaver rail slots, ensuring zero retention under repetitive firing.

Less suitable for: Rifles fitted with 9–11mm or 3/8-inch European rimfire dovetails (which require dovetail-specific rings or a base conversion rail), scopes featuring 30mm or 34mm main tubes, or setups running smaller objectives of 40 mm or less, which are better served by low or medium profile ring mounts to preserve optimal cheek weld.
