Given the success of our MATCH and TAC mounts, we knew what the HUNT rings needed to be. Light, rigid, and able to hold onto an optic in a dramatic recoiling environment.
To do this was no small manufacturing task. This led us down a rabbit-hole, ultimately arriving on a process that gets you final-bore matched rings, with raw aluminum internals, for a grip on your optic that is more reliable and more true than anything else made.
Like most rings, these begin as separate parts. We are making the bases and caps in batches. While many will make these parts, send them to anodize, and then just assemble, we produce around the 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 specially made spacers (to give the rings space to torque down on the optic), and final-bored as sets in our world-class machining centers. Rings are then brought off the machine in sets, and packaged together so you know that your rings were made for one another, and you can rely on them for decades.
Is it overkill? Probably. But we think it’s the right way. So that’s what we are going to do.
