Area 419 MATCH Scope Rings - 34mm - Low

When At Area 419 set out to create the ideal scope ring, the essential goals were clear: to achieve a degree of reliability and precision in capturing optics that is unmatched in the market. This commitment led At Area 419 down a rabbit-hole, ultimately developing a process that produces serialized, final-bore matched rings with raw aluminum internals, ensuring a grip on optics that is more reliable and true than anything else available.

Like most rings, these begin as separate parts. At Area 419 manufactures the bases and caps in batches. While many competitors may simply make these parts, send them to anodize, and then assemble them, At Area 419 goes beyond by incorporating extra steps. Once these parts return from anodize, they are fully assembled, placed back into specially produced rail fixtures, with the caps torqued to spec over uniquely designed spacers (to ensure the rings properly torque down on the optic), and final-bored as sets using world-class machining centers. Rings are then removed from the machine in sets and marked as pairs using a laser, with each set uniquely identified as a match to its precision-bored counterparts.

Is it overkill? Probably. But At Area 419 believes it’s the right way. And that’s exactly what is done.

Specifications: 

• Tube Diameter: 34mm
• Height: Low - 24mm
• Material: 7075 Aerospace Grade Billet Aluminum (with Stainless Steel Hardware)
• Coating: Type 3 Hardcoat Anodize (internal bore is raw aluminum)

How to Install:

NOTE: Before the installation, ensure that the picatinny rail, scope tube and scope ring bore are clean and free from any debris or foreign material to prevent any potential damage to your scope or action during installation. Your required tool is a T20 Torx bit, 45 in/lb torque limiter, and an 18 in/lb torque limiter.

1. Remove the ring cap from the ring base and loosely install the scope rings onto your scope tube where the rings will freely rotate on the scope. It is imperative to keep the matching cap to the matching scope ring base in the correct orientation throughout the installation of the rings. It is not imperative that the clamp bars are on the left or right side as long as both rings are facing the same direction.
2. Loosen the clamp bars and place the scope and scope ring assembly onto the rifle action in the proper location for correct eye relief. A light coat of oil on the mounting surfaces of the picatinny sections is recommended but not required.
3. With the scope loosely mounted into the rings and onto the rifle, torque the scope ring cap screws down onto the optic in cross-hatch pattern using the T20 Torx wrench. Initially tighten the bolt until the head of the bolt just makes contact with the cap. Once all eight bolts are tightened in a cross-hatch pattern repeat the process, incrementally increasing torque until you achieve 18 in/lbs of torque on each bolt. Ensure that there is an even gap between the cap and the base on each side of the rings.
4. Push the rings forward into the picatinny section to ensure contact between the clamp bar bolts and the picatinny lug section to eliminate slip from recoil.
5. Tighten the clamp bar bolts, alternating between each bolt as you incrementally increase torque until 45 in/lbs is achieved.
6. Loosen cap screws, level your scope to your action then torque the cap screws back down following the procedure from step 3.
