There is no Medium on the Long Range Hybrids. Just Low and High.
30mm
Low - .5"
High - .6"
34mm
Low - .55"
High - .65"
The wording kind of trips folks up since the high is basically a Medium.
The new rings will come in Low/MED/High. We are aiming for a May launch on those pending some...
Looks like Unknown Munitions has SA M5 Oberndorfs and Wyatt's MBE-5 kits ready to roll if you're trying to one-stop it. Don't hesitate to do business with anyone on our Dealers page, they're all there for a reason ;)

I think you'll be happy with the new rings we are working on right now. It is our answer to everything you guys are wanting. Because of this new release we will not be making the 0MOA hybrids anymore. Then we will fully cover both the folks that want MOA built in and those that do not.
Also...
Couple things, added cant on the rings does not make them taller in the rear by enough to greatly effect comb height.
Also most modern scopes can easily zero at 100 yards with the cant built in. Effectively there's no downside to having the built in 25 MOA, minus if you want to swap them...
Yes have seen no issues with brass sizing causing a click at the top of the bolt. We have brass with 1-2 firings on it. This test was done with brand new brass. We shot NF ELR with brass with one firing on it. Using TS Customs reamer.
Thanks for the kind words all.
We actually have some 0 MOA R700 Hybrids in stock right now. Though these are not standard run items.

The difference between these and the 25MOA is extremely small on the rifle in regards to...
Our specs on the 8-32 screws on our ring cap screws is 25-in lbs. You can also run them down to 20 in-lbs with no troubles. Some folks that want to run lower we've talked to have used rosin between the scope tubes and rings.
We use 25 in-lbs without issues on S&B, Vortex, Leupold, ZCO, Burris...
As has been mentioned, Direct Mount rings like our Long-Range Hybrids are the lightest option going. However you do lose some mounting flexibility using them on a Long Action. Using a set of our Ultra-Light Tactical rings you normally add about 2oz to the build, but you do gain some mounting...
Updates to the 300 PRC magazine are being made. Soon they will be just magnums and work better with belted magnums.
All Hawkins Hunter DBMs are for M5 inlets. Short, Long, and Medium.
The long actions you have to use a Hawkins Hunter DBM to work with the Hunter magazine. They are wider than a standard magazine so they remain flush. Short actions are standard AICS pattern.
Quick update, we have officially announced our new magazines for .470" bolt face, long action calibers and our new LA spacer kits. The magazines are well suited for 280AI, 284 WIN, and will work with 30-06 and 270 WIN as well.
We've also created a spacer kit which can be placed into the LA...
We are introducing a 280AI/284 WIN magazine next month, along with a couple other magazine accessories to give folks multiple options for flush magazines.
Since you have an M5 inletted stock, the switch is easy.
You could run the Hawkins Hunter DBM and the appropriate magazine. Depending on the caliber.
Or a M5 Oberndorf. For the BDL you'd also need an internal box magazine, spring and follower. You action would also need to have feedlips and...
We've had reports they work with the APA and Badger. They don't seem to play well with the Magpul polymer bottom metals. It's always best to run the Hawkins Hunter, but some of the flush bottom metals seem to run them just fine since they're all AICS pattern.
4-32 and ATARC are just fine from what we've heard. We had a 4-32 in the shop but have not had a 2.5-20. Had lots of discussions with folks though. Shorts are almost always fine. Longs are tough since the NX8 is so short.
It's always best to have your scope in hand and measure too.
