The sure grip mediums are very low actually. I have a set i use and like them just fine. What i use more of is the weaver tactical rings.They have a wide top strap that grips the scope without slippage.
Those Sure Grip mediums are the same height as the Top Mount mediums. They are low as far as most rings marked medium. But the Top Mount low is about .090" lower. For some reason, Weaver does not make Sure Grip low. If I need low, I buy the Top Mount. But if I need medium or higher, I am trying to determine if the Sure Grips are as good or better than the Top Mounts.
(I am also aware that once I need taller rings, other brands are available. But as far as Weaver style rings go, Weaver lows seem to be the lowest available. And again, while some folks don't like those "cheap Weaver rings", some folks actually prefer them. Further, it is not the price that is driving their preference.)
Best,
Gun Doc
