Description
The Weaver Skeleton Rings 1 Inch Medium (Weaver item 48360) are a pair of four-hole tactical scope rings for one-inch riflescopes. Each ring uses a four-screw cap and a cut-out skeleton design that saves weight while keeping a strong, even clamp on the scope tube. They are finished in matte black and built for Weaver-style bases and Picatinny rails.
Weaver Skeleton Rings 1 Inch Medium Overview
Weaver Four-Hole Skeleton Rings are machined from anodized aluminum, which keeps weight down on hunting rifles, AR-platform carbines and rimfire builds. The four-screw caps spread clamping pressure across a wider area than two-screw designs, which helps the rings hold a scope securely without needing excessive torque. The skeletonized ring body is not just for looks; removing material trims weight without weakening the areas that actually carry the load.
These are medium-height rings with a .280 inch saddle height, measured from the top of the base to the bottom of the scope tube.
Scope Fit and Ring Height
Weaver rates the medium height for scopes with objectives up to a 40mm objective lens on a typical rifle. That covers the very common 3-9×40 and 4-12×40 class of one-inch scopes. If your scope has a 44mm or 50mm objective, a heavy-contour barrel, or large turrets that crowd the bolt handle, step up to a high or extra-high ring instead. Always check clearance between the objective bell and the barrel before final tightening.
Mounting
The ring clamps use a cross-bolt that fits both Weaver-style and Picatinny bases. On a Picatinny rail, push each ring forward in its slot before tightening so the recoil key bears against the front edge, which is the direction the scope wants to move under recoil. Space the rings to support the scope tube evenly and to give proper eye relief in your normal shooting position.
Installation Tips
Tighten the cap screws in a crisscross pattern and keep the gaps even on both sides of each ring. Use a torque driver and stay within the scope maker limit for the tube, since aluminum rings and thin scope tubes are both easy to over-tighten. Level the reticle before final torque so windage and elevation track true at distance.
Honest Limitations
These rings fit one-inch tubes only; 30mm and 34mm scopes need different rings. Aluminum is lighter than steel but less forgiving if overtightened, so a torque driver matters. There is no quick-detach lever, so removing the scope means loosening the base clamps and confirming zero again afterward.
Where These Rings Make Sense
Four-hole caps are popular on modern sporting rifles and on bolt guns that wear a full-length rail, because the extra screws make it easy to get an even, repeatable clamp. On a lightweight mountain rifle, the skeleton cuts help offset the weight of the extra hardware. On a rimfire trainer, they give a sturdier hold than budget stamped rings. For a classic walnut-stocked rifle with traditional two-piece bases, a smooth steel ring may suit the look better, but for function the Weaver Four-Hole Skeleton design covers a wide range of rifles.
