Leupold PRW2 30mm Low Height Rings (Part #174083) are a pair of steel scope mounting rings designed for 30mm maintube riflescopes. They use a Weaver-style/Picatinny (cross-slot) design for a secure, permanent mount.
Key Specifications
- Ring Diameter: 30 mm (fits scopes with 30mm main tubes)
- Height: Low — 0.84 inches (measured from the top of the rail/base to the center of the scope tube)
- Material: Solid steel (precision machined for durability and recoil resistance)
- Finish: Matte black (non-reflective)
- Weight: Approximately 4.7 oz (for the pair)
- Mounting: Compatible with Weaver or Picatinny rails/bases (cross-slot system for added stability)
- Torque Specs: Keeper clamp and ring top screws at 25 in-lbs
- Design Notes: Updated PRW2 series (improved over original PRW) with stronger cross-slot contact, easier installation (no need to spread the top ring as much), and a more modern industrial look. Built for standard to magnum calibers.
These rings are part of Leupold's Cross-Slot series and are marketed as "bomb-proof" for hunters and shooters needing reliable, low-profile mounting without quick-detach features (unlike the related QRW2 series)
Common Uses
They're ideal for:
- Bolt-action hunting rifles
- AR-style rifles with Picatinny rails
- Scopes where a lower mounting height helps achieve proper cheek weld and eye relief
The low height minimizes the optic's profile above the bore for a more natural shooting position.
