The Keystone of Your Build: Unmatched Strength & Precision
Introducing the EGW Keystone 1" Scope Rings, our flagship mounting system engineered for shooters who refuse to compromise. When your accuracy depends on a flawless connection between optic and rifle, the Keystone series delivers. Precision CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum, these rings provide exceptional strength in a lightweight, streamlined package. Their low-profile .850" height is perfect for a wide range of rifles, promoting a better cheek weld and a more natural line of sight.
What sets the Keystone rings apart is their robust, horizontally-split design featuring a heavy-duty Chromoly crossbolt and T15 Torx cap screws. This combination provides immense clamping force, ensuring your scope remains locked in place under the harshest recoil and most demanding conditions. The Keystone series represents the pinnacle of our design philosophy: versatile, robust, and an unparalleled value.

Made in the USA: Designed, machined, and assembled with pride in Quakertown, Pennsylvania.
The Modern Advantage: Why We Use Aircraft-Grade Aluminum
While traditional steel rings have their place, modern metallurgy has proven that strength doesn't have to come with a massive weight penalty. We use domestically-sourced 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio. It's more than strong enough to hold zero on the heaviest magnum calibers, yet light enough that it won't weigh down your rifle. Furthermore, aluminum allows for more precise machining than steel, resulting in a perfect, stress-free fit on your scope tube that prevents ring marks. It offers the ultimate balance of strength, low weight, and precision for today's firearms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What makes Keystone rings different from the Practical series?
A: The Keystone series is our flagship line, featuring a more robust, horizontally-split design with upgraded hardware. It uses a heavy-duty Chromoly crossbolt and T15 Torx screws for maximum clamping force, making it ideal for magnum calibers and hard-use rifles.
Q: What is the benefit of a horizontally-split ring design?
A: A horizontally-split design allows for easier installation of the scope and can provide a more uniform pressure around the scope tube when torqued to spec, preventing any potential damage to your optic.
Q: Will these .850" low rings work with a 50mm objective scope?
A: Yes, in most cases. A .850" height provides enough clearance for most scopes with up to a 50mm objective lens on a flat Picatinny rail. However, we always recommend using our Scope Ring Height Calculator to verify fitment with your specific rifle and rail.
Q: Why do you use T15 Torx screws instead of Allen screws?
A: T15 Torx screws offer better engagement than standard Allen (hex) screws, which significantly reduces the risk of stripping the screw head when applying the proper torque. It's a more secure and reliable hardware choice, fitting for a flagship product.
Q: Are Keystone rings sold in pairs?
A: Yes, all EGW scope rings, including the Keystone series, are sold as a matched pair to ensure perfect alignment and a secure fit.
