I am looking for 30mm rings [std rail mount] that have a saddle height less than .250", so far Weaver Burris and Millet are all .250" or more for their 'low' rings.

Does anyone make a quality 30mm ring with very low saddle height? .125" would be ideal for my needs but am not going to pay $$$$ to save 1/8".

And yes - I know what clearance I need for the objective lens etc etc etc

Thanks in advance !!

Saw those too but only .020" difference at .228"; was hoping to find some near 1/8"

Doesn't look like there's big demand for this; all the 30s seem to start at .250"

Ken Farrell were the lowest I could find

Looks like .145" after doing the math, they are low!

I have this exact Farrell setup on my 7mm mag and its almost zero clearance to my sporter bbl with a 50mm scope obj - perfect.
Just not going to spend this $$ again for my .223 :)

BTW this is for a Savage 10; the bbl nut / receiver setup allows for very very low scope rings and still plenty clearance at the bbl. Weaver std 1" rings can get very low but not the 30mm series. Oh well, no biggie.

TPS rings or Seekins offer good low options.

Found mine used for $100, but yeah, new are pricey!
