The Keystone of Your Build: Unmatched Strength for 30mm Scopes
Experience our flagship mounting system, now engineered for 30mm optics. The EGW Keystone 30mm Scope Rings are built for shooters who refuse to compromise on strength or precision. When your accuracy depends on a flawless connection between your 30mm scope 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 for scopes with objectives up to 50mm. What truly 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.
The EGW Keystone Advantage:
Flagship Performance for 30mm Tubes: Our best-selling ring, designed for the popular 30mm scope tube diameter.
Robust Hardware: Features a 1/2" Chromoly steel crossbolt and T15 Torx screws for a secure, non-slip fit.
Precision Machined: CNC-machined from solid 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum to the tightest tolerances.
Low-Profile Design: The .850" height is ideal for scopes with objectives up to 50mm, providing a tight-to-bore axis.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What makes Keystone rings different from the HD Tactical series?
A: Both are our premier, heavy-duty ring lines. The HD Tactical rings are machined as a serialized matched set for the ultimate in precision. The Keystone rings use the same robust hardware in a more streamlined, aesthetic package, offering a fantastic balance of our strongest design at a great value.
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 30mm 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.

Not worth the money if you ask me. You will want to rachet the rail screws down. I have retighten these a few times as they just don't hold ... next time am I going to glue the treds

I bought these along with a EGW Picatinny rail for a CZ 457 Varmint. Even with a 50mm objective lens these were more than high enough. Very well made. I would not hesitate to use them on other rifles as well.
