Description
The Weaver 6 Hole Rings 1 Inch High (Weaver item 48350) are six-hole skeleton tactical scope rings for one-inch riflescopes, set at the high height for scopes with larger objective lenses. Each cap uses six screws for a wide, even clamp, and the matte black finish suits modern rifles and optics. They mount on Weaver-style bases and Picatinny rails.
Weaver 6 Hole Rings 1 Inch High Overview
Weaver Six-Hole Skeleton Rings are the heaviest-duty member of the Weaver tactical skeleton family. Where a two-screw ring clamps the scope at two points per side, the six-screw cap spreads pressure across a much wider area. That helps hold heavier scopes on hard-recoiling rifles without forcing you to crank the screws down hard. The skeleton cut-outs remove weight from the ring body, so the extra hardware does not turn into a heavy mount.
Why Choose the High Height
High rings lift the scope so that larger objective bells clear the barrel. As a general guide, high one-inch rings suit scopes with objectives in roughly the 44 to 50mm range on a standard barrel, or 40mm scopes on rifles with a thick barrel contour, a raised rail or bulky turrets. The trade-off is a higher sight line, which can make a solid cheek weld harder on stocks without an adjustable comb. If your scope clears with medium rings, the lower option is usually the better choice.
Mounting
The cross-bolt clamp fits both Weaver-style and Picatinny bases. On a Picatinny rail, seat each ring forward in its slot before tightening so the recoil key bears against the front of the slot. Set ring spacing to support the scope evenly and to give full eye relief from your normal shooting position, whether prone, from a bench or standing.
Installation Tips
Snug all six cap screws lightly first, then torque in a crisscross pattern while keeping the gaps even on each side. Use a torque driver and stay inside the scope maker limit for the tube. Level the reticle to the rifle before final torque. A tiny amount of thread locker on the base clamp nuts is fine, but keep it off the cap screws so the scope can be removed cleanly later.
Where These Rings Make Sense
Six-hole rings shine on magnum hunting rifles, precision bolt guns with heavier scopes, and modern sporting rifles that see a lot of rough handling. They also work well for shooters who swap scopes between rifles and want a ring that grips the tube firmly with moderate torque. For a lightweight hunting rifle carried all day, a four-hole or two-screw ring may be the better balance of weight and strength.
Honest Limitations
These rings fit one-inch scope tubes only. The extra screws add a few minutes to installation and alignment. The high height raises the scope, so check your cheek weld before committing. There is no quick-detach lever; plan on re-checking zero after removing the scope.
