Vector Optics Tactical 30 mm Medium Mark Weaver/Picatinny Rings (V-35 / SCTM-22) — True 26 mm center height, rigid low-glare alloy, repeatable zero for 30 mm optics

The Vector Optics Tactical 30 mm Medium Mark Rings provide a fast, repeatable, and rock-solid interface for any 30 mm scope tube on 21 mm Weaver and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails. Machined from a rugged aluminum alloy and finished in a durable matte black coating, these rings are tuned to a 26 mm (1.0″) rail-to-center height—a proven “medium” profile that balances optic clearance, cheek weld, and overall rifle handling. The compact 16 mm (0.63″) ring width saves weight without giving up clamping area, while precise rail geometry bites firmly into in-spec bases to resist shift under recoil. If you need dependable alignment for hunting rifles, practical carbines, or trainer setups, the V-35 / SCTM-22 rings deliver pro-level stability without unnecessary bulk.

• Center height: 26 mm / 1.0″ (rail top → tube center) — medium profile
• Ring width: 16 mm / 0.63″ (compact, weight-efficient band)
• Net weight (pair): ~120 g / 4.2 oz
• Material: Rugged aluminum alloy
• Finish: Low-glare black matte (field-ready)
• Rail interface: 21 mm Weaver & Picatinny compatible
• Use case: Shock-proof; designed for real-fire calibers
• Model references: V-35 / SCTM-22 (Medium)

Real-World Use Cases

All-purpose hunting rifles

The medium 26 mm center height typically clears 40–44 mm objectives on flat rails while keeping the scope low for a natural cheek weld. That means faster target acquisition from awkward field positions and less parallax error at practical distances.

AR-pattern carbines with compact optics

Pair with lightweight 1–6× / 1–8× LPVOs or compact 2–10× scopes when you want a tidy silhouette and balanced handling. The modest rise over bore helps maintain consistent head placement across barricades and unconventional support.

Trainer & rimfire builds

Mirror the feel of your centerfire rifle. Medium rings preserve a familiar eye height, encouraging identical fundamentals during drills and reducing re-zero time when swapping between platforms.

Mechanical Properties & Durability

• Rigid alloy bodies: Precision-machined aluminum alloy resists flex and maintains optical alignment when torqued to spec.
• Secure rail engagement: True Weaver/Picatinny geometry provides positive recoil-lug capture to prevent creeping under repeated fire.
• Even tube support: Clean, concentric bores and a 16 mm band distribute clamping force to protect scope tubes from marring.
• Field-ready finish: Matte black surface reduces reflections and blends with most receivers and optics.
• Real-caliber rating: Built to handle typical centerfire recoil when correctly installed on in-spec rails.

What’s in the Box

• 2 × 30 mm medium-profile rings (V-35 / SCTM-22)
• 1 × Hex key (for cap screws)
• Basic mounting notes

Fit & Setup Notes

• Objective clearance: At 26 mm center height, most 40–44 mm objectives clear a flat rail; larger objectives or tapered barrels may require higher rings—always verify on your rifle.
• Rail standard: Fits 21 mm Weaver and Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913). Use a consistent slot and index mark for repeatable re-installs.
• Level & torque: Level the rifle and reticle before final torque. Tighten cap screws evenly in an X-pattern to the scope maker’s spec; re-check after first live-fire.
• Spacing & eye relief: Set ring spacing to support the main tube without contacting the scope’s turret saddle or objective bell; confirm comfortable eye relief at your highest magnification.
• Thread prep: Where permitted by the manufacturer, a small amount of medium-strength thread locker can help resist vibration.

Technical Specifications
