Spuhr Hunting Rings
The Spuhr Hunting Rings is the natural progression of the Spuhr Hunting Mounts. The Spuhr Hunting Series of products originally came to mind as an implementation of our patented diagonally cut rings from the Ideal Scope Mount System™ (ISMS™) but applied to traditional hunting rings and mounts. The ISMS™ provides a way to mount the optics to a rifle in such a way that the rings do not obscure the turrets of the scope. With traditional mounting solutions the user has a choice between obscuring either the elevation or the windage adjustments (and in some cases both!)
The first trick was to cut the rings diagonally rather than horizontal or vertical, thus putting the “fat” part of the rings offset from the scope turrets – a solution we ended up patenting in US patent 8,733,011 and European patent EP2478324. The Hunting Series combine this feature with the sleek looks of a more traditional hunting ring.
We machine the mounts and rings from 7075 T651 billet aluminum, as this material is lightweight and extremely strong, even outperforming construction steel in several aspects. Our fasteners are 12.9 Grade steel with zinc-nickel corrosion resistance, and they come pre-waxed to ensure proper torque values.
We currently offer the hunting series in three main families:
BLASER
The HB series of Hunting Rings is designed for use on Blaser R8 Saddle Mounts and are available for the following tube diameters: 1 inch, 30, 34, 35, and 36 mm.
PICATINNY / WEAVER
The HP series of Hunting Rings is designed for use on Picatinny and Weaver scope bases . Thanks to it’s design the HP series can be rotated for left-handed use and is currently available in several heights for the following tube diameters: 1 inch, 30, and 34 mm.
As part of the HP series we also offer the HPC series – which feature a cantilevered front ring for use on long action rifles.
SAKO
The HS series of Hunting Rings is designed for use on SAKO OptiLock bases and is available for the following tube diameters: 1 inch, 30, 34, 35, and 36 mm.
VERSIONS
The Hunting Series of rings can be purchased in three versions: the standard Hunting version, which has one Spuhr Interface™ top ring and one Classic top ring; the Aesthetic version with two Classic top rings and no Spuhr Interfaces™; and the Interface version, which features Spuhr Interfaces™ on both top rings.
The Spuhr Interface™ provides a way to attaching accessories to the scope mount/ring – with a high degree of repeatability – without having to replace parts of the mount or having to re-zero the scope in between changes.
