Will the Hawke Steel 1" High with Lever mounts hold zero on high-recoil magnum centerfire rifles used in the Australian outback?

Yes, these mounts are constructed from solid steel weighing 190 g per pair and feature four T15 Torx cap screws per ring, engineered to withstand heavy recoil from standard centerfire and magnum hunting calibres without shifting point of impact.

Are these mounts compatible with standard rails found on Australian hunting rifles?

The Hawke Model 23012 is designed to fit standard Weaver and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail interfaces commonly used across Australian bolt-action, lever-action, and sporting platforms. As a 100% mechanical firearm accessory, electrical standards like SAA/RCM approvals and 240V mains compatibility are not applicable.

How does the quick-release lever system perform during fast optic swaps in the field?

The tool-less quick-release lever mechanism on the base enables rapid scope attachment and removal while maintaining a secure grip on the rail. This allows shooters to quickly swap optics in the field without requiring specialized tools.

What size scope objective lens requires this High profile model?

The High profile provides a total height of 1.9 inches (47 mm) with a base-to-ring bottom height of approximately 13 mm, making it specifically suited for scopes with large objective bells of 50 mm or greater. If your scope has an objective lens of 40 mm or smaller, you should consider the Hawke Low or Medium models to maintain a proper cheek weld.

1 Inch Scope Rings - Hawke 23012

The Hawke Precision Steel 1" High Ring Mounts with Lever (Model: 23012) provide high-strength optic mounting for rifles fitted with standard Weaver or Picatinny bases. Constructed entirely from solid steel with a matte black finish, this two-piece ring set is engineered to withstand heavy recoil from centerfire, magnum, and spring-piston airgun platforms. The high-profile design creates a total height of 1.9 inches (47 mm) with approximately 13 mm of clearance from the base to the bottom of the ring, allowing sufficient clearance for scopes with larger objective bells (typically 50 mm or larger) and rifles requiring a higher cheek-weld alignment.

Key Features

Solid Steel Construction: Machined from solid steel to deliver maximum rigidity and clamping strength across heavy-recoil calibres.
Quick-Release Lever System: Tool-less quick-release base levers (8-32 thread) enable rapid scope attachment and removal while retaining zero.
Four-Screw Cap Clamping: Double T15 Torx cap screws (6-48 thread) per ring distribute uniform clamping force around the 1-inch (25.4 mm) scope tube.
Weaver/Picatinny Compatibility: Engineered to fit securely onto standard Weaver cross-slot bases and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails.

Who is the Hawke Steel 1" High With Lever for?

Centerfire and magnum hunters — Built from solid steel weighing 190 g (6.7 oz) per pair to maintain zero against heavy recoil on standard Weaver or Picatinny base rails when securing a 1-inch (25.4 mm) main tube optic.
Shooters requiring quick optics swapping — Uses tool-less quick-release base levers with a 1.9-inch (47 mm) total height to rapidly mount and dismount 1-inch scope rings over high-profile objective lenses in the field.

Less suitable for: Scopes with 30 mm or 34 mm main tubes (which require larger diameter rings), optics with 40 mm or smaller objective lenses where a low or medium profile ring sets a closer bore alignment, or ultra-lightweight setups requiring total mount weight under 190 g where aluminium scope mounts are better suited.
