Vortex Sport Riflescope Ring 1″ Low 0.80″
The Vortex Sport Riflescope Ring in 1-inch Low keeps a 1-inch scope tube as close to the bore line as possible, with a centre scope height of just 0.80 inches above the rail. This low-profile position suits rifles with slim objective lenses where barrel clearance is not an issue, and brings the eyepiece down to a natural cheek weld without any raised comb required.
Machined from 6061 aluminium with a Type 2 low-glare matte black anodised finish, these rings resist corrosion and glare in all conditions. An integrated recoil lug drops into the rail cross-slot to mechanically prevent forward scope movement under centrefire recoil — a more secure arrangement than friction alone.
T-25 Torx cap and base screws are used throughout, with torque values laser-engraved onto the ring body: 15–18 in-lb.

Installed the ring on my AR-15 and it fits perfectly. The scope sits very low, which makes cheek weld natural. No need to raise the comb. The finish looks durable and the recoil lug keeps the scope stable during firing.

Great fit for a slim lens scope. The 0.80-inch height is ideal for my rifle setup. The anodized finish holds up well in outdoor conditions. Torque values are clearly marked and easy to follow.
Diane Skinner –
Works well with my 1-inch scope. The low profile is a big plus. Slight adjustment needed for rail alignment, but overall solid and reliable.

No glare issues even in bright sunlight. The ring feels sturdy and the recoil lug prevents any movement during shooting. Easy to install with T-25 Torx screws.
