Featherweight Scope Rings - Hawkins Precision New Product

[SDHNTR]

They still sell the long range Hybrids if durability is a concern for you

Not in zero cant, which is the point.

Thank you, but this is what concerns me :

Interesting. From what I heard and read on multiple places throughout the www was not so much a desire for a “lighter, simpler Hybrid”, but just a zero cant Hybrid. I understand you can’t please everybody, but I personally just wanted the same tried and true design. Didn’t want anything new. I like proven. Guess I’ll have to give these a while to see how they shake out.

We don't offer the hybrids in 1", which are the smaller and lighter scopes mentioned.

We have a house 300 RUM on a factory R700 with #6 screws and no recoil pins that we have done the lion's share of the product testing of these rings on. With a Leupold VX6HD.

Ok good to know. Thanks. So then the 30mm version of these is essentially the same as the Hybrids, without the level and 0 cant? Same material? Same size, shape and dimensions?

They are dimensionally slightly smaller than the Hybrids. They are made from the same materials as the hybrids.

ETA for these on Tikkas? Any chance of a bubble level variation being made available as well?

We are working to release new versions of the Featherweights in early 2024.

No plans at this time to have level caps on these. That's a feature on the Long Range Hybrids though. Which are available for Tikka rifles.

Well heck. Might need to replace my Talleys on the 700 with these. This damn forum is going to make me start delivering pizza or something.

By “new versions” do you mean that the Tikka rings will not be available until 2024?

 

[HawkinsPrecision]

Tikka and Defiance will be the next ones to come out. Looking like a late 2023 / early 2024 release right now.

@HawkinsPrecision, Could you post a profile photo of the Featherweight rings on your factory long action R700 as well as the minimum scope mounting length? I have a 3-9 Trijicon Accupoint in Talley extended rings and there is not a lot of room to play with. Thanks.

I have those rings on my Rem 700 LA mounted "in." The distance between the rings is 4 3/16". The distance outside to outside is 5 3/8".

I don't know if you can tell but that is the Tenmile 3-18x44 mounted in that pic for reference.

I like what I'm looking at there Marsh. What are the rifle particulars?

6.5 PRC Build on Sportsman 78 Action Questions

I've had this Sportsman 78 in 270 Win since I was a teenager. It was outfitted with a Zeiss Conquest and a nice BDL stock for eastern whitetail hunting since we lived in Louisiana. Since moving to Montana I've been changing things to make it more suitable for western hunting. Peak 44...

If Barrett ever fires up the Fieldcraft production again, I’d love to see these as an option.

Love my Fieldcraft, but hate the current mounting options on the market.
