I purchased some Hawkins 34mm rings then reached out to Chris at Live4thehunt. He no longer opens up the rings to 35mm. Looks like I am going to go with a pic rail. I was really hoping to use the Hawkins.I used Hawkins Hybrids on my 6.5SS with a Mark5HD built on an anTi. I had their 34mm rings opened to 35mm by live4thehunt.

I have a short actionOn my ANTI L/A I used the Talley medium ring mounts with a 8-32 NX8. It barely cleared the ocular on the scope and was not able to mount the scope back as far as I would like. I went to the 20 MOA rail.
If you want to try the Talley Ring mounts PM me as I will sell mine.
What stock are you using?Anti short action, vortex pst, high talley one piece rings. Maybe 1/8 Clarence low will not work
I have an AG Composites Alpine Hunter on my 280 Ackley with the Defiance Anti Action, no issues with Vortex lows and a Swarovski Z6 3-18x50. The Tenacity build is a different story.Ag composite alpine hunter. The highs work pretty good because of the stock
Thanks that is what I am talking about right thereAnti short action, vortex pst, high talley one piece rings. Maybe 1/8 Clarence low will not work
What stock is this?Seekins Lows are the limit, they are 2nd lowest behind the Ken Farrell low rings. I think they are .835", you should be able to extrapolate that out and pick a set that will work.
Here is the Defiance Tenacity with the Seekins rings and Vortex Razor HD LHT 3-15x42mm, plenty of bolt handle clearance.
I wish someone would come up with a swept bolt handle to screw in the bolt handle extension for extra clearance. View attachment 319477
APA Tru-loc lows are 0.750". If you like them that low…Seekins Lows are the limit, they are 2nd lowest behind the Ken Farrell low rings. I think they are .835", you should be able to extrapolate that out and pick a set that will work.
