Rings for Leupold Mark 5

I'm have the Spuhr 20MOA mount on a 0MOA rail.

I like the ARC rings a whole lot. I think the ARC is a better option for a hunting rifle. That's what I would buy if I didn't already have the Spuhr.

I have a set of 35mm Hawkins hybrids for Tikka, if I were doing a pic ring, Seekins/Vortex or ARC would be my choice. Valdala makes a nice set of lows as well.

Where did you find 35mm Hawkins hybrids? I was just checking less than a week ago and it still looked like they haven’t made them yet.
 
Anyone else able to comment here? Have a Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 ordered for my Cooper 92. I've narrowed my ring choices down to the low ARC M10's or the new Hawkins Ultralight Lows. I have the bases that came with my Cooper, and I also have a Talley rail. My current setup of 30mm Talley LW mediums gives me a sight height of 1.75". I have calculated that on the factory bases my sight height with the M10's would be 1.735", while with the Hawkins it would be 1.68". IF I need the rail for forward/aft movement of the scope for proper eye relief then add .225" to those, which I hope I don't have to do and don't believe I'll have to.

I believe the weights of the Hawkins and and ARC M10's will be similar, I like the level of the Hawkins but I also like the simplicity of the ARC's. They also appear very easy to add witness marks to so I can tell if screws have loosened, which is a paranoid thing I like to do.
 
Using the Seekins Match rings - Hundreds of shots and the rifle is dead on. 6.5 CM. I used same rings and scope on 30 Nosler.... Working well, just not quite as many shots as the 6.5.

I believe you'll find the arc rings to be 40% heavier than Hawkins light rings, they're absolute tanks.

Dang. Already adding 5.5 oz going from an SWFA 3-9x42 to a Loopy 3.6-18x44. Hmmmm.

This is a comparison of 4oz for Hawkins vs 6oz for arc. It's only a 2oz difference but % wise it's a lot heavier. The mk5 is twice the scope the swfa is, you'll be quite happy. I have a 3.6-18x44 illuminated, and a 5-25 non illuminated, both pr1-moa reticle, I really like em, pondering swapping all my hunting rifles over.
 
I went with TPS super low aluminum 35mm on a mountain tac pic rail. This was the lowest/lightest combination I could find for 35mm.. This is on a 6 x 47 Lapua, Tikka action with proof sendero barrel for reference. I have zero regrets as it’s rock solid.. just wish Talley would get on board and make a one piece 35mm....

TPS TSR rings for 35mm scopes. I like the aluminum ones, but steel is there if you want Marine proof rings.
