Got a set of Talley Lightweights in X-Low for my A-Bolt. Love the look and easy setup. However, I was kinda disappointed in that the scope didn't sit much lower than my medium Weaver's. Looking at the original Weaver mount setup, I realized there was allot to be gained if I could get lower height rings and a thinner base mount. Looked around and found that Warne makes such a low-pro weaver base ala the Maxima series. Went to the LGS and started trying out rings. Wanted Zees, but their low's are the exact height of Weaver med. Weaver lows were the ticket!!!

As much as others dislike original Weaver rings, there's literally nothing short of custom machined that can mount a scope lower than Warne Maxima bases and Weaver low rings. Mic'd mount height comes out to exactlty .285"............The next lowest set we tried was Leupold std rings/mounts in super low that mic's @ .310"


Just thought I'd pass this bit of info along.
