Vortex Hunter 30mm Low Rings Weaver/Picatinny Mount
The Vortex Hunter rings provide a simple and reliable way to mount a 30mm-tubed riflescope to a Picatinny or Weaver rail. This Low set offers the lowest profile among the three available heights, with the center of the scope tube positioned just 0.75in (19.0mm) above the rail for optimal cheek-to-scope alignment.
Constructed from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the rings offer a strong yet lightweight design, weighing 49g (1.72oz) per set. The base clamp screws are torqued to 25–30 in/lbs, and ring screws to 15 in/lbs, allowing proper tightening with a standard torque wrench.

Installed the Low Rings on my 30mm scope and found the alignment to be very consistent. The height is perfect for my hunting stance, and the aluminum construction feels solid. Easy to tighten with a torque wrench. No wobbling during use.
Trevor Mitchell –
Good fit on my Picatinny rail. The low profile helps with a tighter cheek-to-scope position. Slightly lighter than other mounts I’ve tried, and the screws hold securely.
Owen Dickens –
Used these for a morning deer hunt. The scope stayed stable, and the alignment was spot-on. The weight is minimal, and the mount doesn’t add bulk to the rifle.
