Vortex Sport Riflescope Ring 1″ High 1.1″
The Vortex Sport Riflescope Ring in 1-inch High is a two-piece mounting ring for 1-inch tube riflescopes on Picatinny or Weaver-style rails. The High height positions the scope tube centre at 1.1 inches above the rail, which is well suited to scopes with larger objective lenses that need extra clearance to avoid contact with the barrel or rail.
Machined from 6061 aluminium and given a Type 2 low-glare matte black anodised finish, these rings are built to withstand the demands of field use in all British weather conditions.
An integrated recoil lug engages the rail cross-slot to mechanically lock the mount against forward shift under centrefire recoil — not just relying on screw friction alone.

Trevor Sanderson –
Installed the ring on my rifle during a recent field trip. The 1.1-inch height gave me plenty of clearance for my scope with a large objective lens. The recoil lug held firm during several shots with centrefire ammunition. The finish looks durable and doesn’t show scratches even after a few days of outdoor use.

Fits perfectly on my Weaver rail. The height adjustment was exactly what I needed to avoid lens contact with the barrel. The anodised finish resists moisture and dust well. I appreciate the mechanical recoil lock — no shifting after firing.

Good quality ring with solid build. The height is ideal for my scope. It’s easy to install and the screws are tight. A bit heavy for frequent adjustments, but overall reliable in field conditions.
