The Hawke Precision Steel Ring Mounts 30mm 2-Piece Weaver High – Lever (Model 23017) are solid steel mounting rings engineered to secure 30 mm maintube rifle scopes to Weaver and MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rails. Designed for high-recoil centrebore and magnum rifles, this 2-piece mounting system features an integrated quick-release lever mechanism (8-32 thread size) for tool-free installation and removal in the field, combined with double T15 Torx cap screws (6-48 thread size) per ring to ensure consistent clamping pressure and zero retention.

Key Features

• Solid Steel Construction: High-grade solid steel build with a matte black finish provides structural rigidity and high clamping force to withstand heavy recoil.
• Quick-Release Lever System: Base levers allow rapid optic attachment, removal, and swapping directly on Weaver and Picatinny rails without tools.
• Dual Torx Ring Caps: T15 Torx fasteners (two per side, per ring) deliver balanced torque distribution across the 30 mm optic tube.
• High Clearance Profile: An overall height of 50 mm (2.0 in) provides the necessary clearance over the barrel and action for large-objective optics.

Who is the Hawke Precision Steel 30mm High Lever Mount for?

• Hunters using medium-to-large centrebore and magnum rifles — requiring a heavy-duty 30mm weaver scope ring with a 196 g (6.9 oz) solid steel build and quick-release levers for rapid optic detachment without losing zero under heavy recoil.
• Shooters mounting large-objective optics — needing a 30mm weaver scope ring with an overall height of 50 mm (2.0 in) to clear 50 mm to 56 mm objective lenses and raised rifle receiver profiles.

Less suitable for: Rifle setups requiring 1-inch or 34 mm maintube mounting, standard 9–11 mm airgun or rimfire dovetail rails, or compact scopes with 32 mm to 40 mm objectives where a 50 mm overall height causes an excessively high cheek weld; these configurations are better served by low or medium profile 30 mm rings or 9–11 mm dovetail mounts.
