The Hawke Precision Steel Ring Mounts 30mm 2 Piece Weaver Low (Model 23005) are engineered from solid high-grade steel to secure 30 mm main tube riflescopes to Weaver and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails. Designed for high-recoil centerfire and magnum applications, these mounts utilise dual T15 Torx screws per cap to deliver uniform clamping pressure across the scope tube, while a heavy-duty 1/2-inch hex nut locks the base securely to the rail.

Key Features

• Solid Steel Construction: Machined from solid steel to provide high tensile strength and hold zero under heavy recoil from magnum calibres such as .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua.
• Double Torx Screw Top Caps: Uses two T15 Torx fasteners on each side of the ring to distribute clamping force evenly without crushing or deforming 30 mm scope tubes.
• Low-Profile Alignment: Measures 42 mm in overall height (with an approximate 4.5 mm base saddle height) to position the optical axis close to the rifle bore for improved cheek weld.
• Hex Nut Rail Clamp: Standard 1/2-inch hex nut fixing allows precise torque application onto Weaver and Picatinny mounting interfaces.

Who is the Hawke Precision Steel 30mm Low Mount for?

• Centerfire and Magnum Hunters — Requires a 145 g solid steel 30mm low scope ring mount that withstands intense recoil forces without shifting zero on standard Weaver or Picatinny rails.
• Target and Tactical Shooters — Requires a low 42 mm overall height mount to position 30 mm optics with small objective lenses (typically up to 42 mm or 44 mm) as close to the rifle bore as possible for optimal cheek weld.

Less suitable for: Riflescopes with 50 mm or 56 mm objective bells that require medium or high profile mounts to prevent barrel contact, optics with 1-inch or 34 mm main tubes, or firearms using 9–11 mm and 3/8-inch rimfire dovetail rails without an adapter.
