Description
The Traditions Rings Weaver Style Bases High 30mm Diameter Black is a set of high-profile scope rings designed to mount a 30mm tube optic to a Weaver or Picatinny-style rail. They provide the necessary elevation for proper eye relief and objective bell clearance, especially on rifles with a high comb stock or when using optics with large objective lenses. For a price of $16.15, this set offers a straightforward, no-fuss mounting solution.
Key Features
- High Profile: Lifts your 30mm optic for proper cheek weld and objective lens clearance over barrel contours or iron sights.
- Weaver/Picatinny Compatibility: Securely attaches to standard Weaver-style bases and modern MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails.
- Durable Construction: Made from hardened steel and finished in a matte black to resist corrosion and reduce glare.
- Secure Clamping: Top-ring, cross-bolt design ensures a solid, non-slip grip on your optic’s tube.

Who It’s For
This set is for the shooter who needs to get a 30mm scope up high. Think about a hunting rifle with a Monte Carlo stock—you need that extra height for a clean sight picture without craning your neck. They’re also ideal for mounting a long-range scope on a flat-top AR-10 platform or a bolt-action rifle where the objective bell needs to clear a heavy barrel contour. If your current setup has your scope sitting too low, forcing an awkward head position, these high rings are the fix.
Consider a common scenario: mounting a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24×50 or a similar optic with a large 50mm objective bell on a Remington 700 with a bull barrel. Standard rings might cause the bell to contact the barrel, but these high Traditions rings provide the necessary clearance. They ship to Missouri and compliant US states, offering a simple solution for a common mounting problem.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The primary advantage is solving clearance issues affordably. At $16.15, it’s a cost-effective way to properly fit your optic. The installation is straightforward, and the robust steel construction provides a trustworthy foundation for your scope, ensuring it holds zero under recoil. The universal Weaver/Picatinny compatibility means they’ll work on a vast majority of modern riflescope setups.
Cons: The high profile is not ideal for every rifle. On a rifle with a very low comb stock, like some classic sporter models, these rings may lift the scope too high, making a consistent cheek weld difficult without an aftermarket cheek riser. That said, they are a purpose-built tool—if you need height, they deliver.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these rings fit a standard Picatinny rail on my AR-15?
A: Yes. The Weaver-style cross-slot design is fully compatible with MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails. They will securely mount to any standard AR-15 upper receiver rail or a Picatinny rail section mounted to a shotgun or rimfire rifle.
Q: Are the rings and mounting screws included?
A: Yes. The set includes both rings, the necessary cross-bolt screws to attach the rings to your base, and the top cap screws to secure the optic. A basic hex key for installation is typically included.
Q: Can I use these for a red dot sight or just traditional scopes?
A: While designed for tube-style optics, they can mount any device with a 30mm mounting body. However, the high profile is often unnecessary for compact red dots, which are usually better served by low-profile mounts. These are best suited for magnified riflescopes where objective bell or stock comb clearance is a concern.
When it comes to setting up a reliable rifle, the mount is just as critical as the optic itself. The Traditions Rings Weaver Style Bases High 30mm Diameter Black provide a solid, dependable link between your scope and your firearm.
