Weaver Mounts 49163 Sure Grip 1" Medium Quick Detach Matte Black Steel Scope Rings

The Weaver Mounts Sure Grip 1" Medium Quick Detach Matte Black Steel Scope Rings are built for hunters and shooters who want a reliable, no-nonsense way to mount optics without sacrificing the ability to transition to iron sights. These scope rings combine a four-screw fastening system with steel caps and an aluminum saddle—a proven setup that's been holding riflescopes steady for decades. The real standout feature is the quick detach design: loosen the thumb screws and you're free to move to backup iron sights in seconds, a practical advantage whether you're hunting in timber where a close encounter is possible or running a dedicated backup sight system on a precision rifle.

Built to Weaver's exacting standards, these matte black steel rings resist corrosion and won't catch light like shiny finishes. The 1" medium height is the most common ring height, suited to most mainstream rifle platforms and optic mounting scenarios. The four-screw design distributes clamping pressure across a wider footprint than two-screw rings, reducing the chance of scope shift under recoil—important whether you're zeroing at the range or relying on your rifle in the field.

If you've had bad experiences with rings that shift, corrode, or trap you on a single sighting system, Weaver's Sure Grip line offers the kind of straightforward, durable engineering that earns respect at the bench and in the field. These rings work with standard Weaver and Picatinny rails, making them a smart upgrade or replacement on nearly any modern hunting or tactical rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these scope rings compatible with my rifle's Picatinny rail?

Yes. These Weaver rings are designed to work with both Weaver and Picatinny rails, the two most common mounting standards on modern hunting and tactical rifles.

What does 'quick detach' mean, and why would I want it?

Quick detach thumb screws allow you to loosen the rings in seconds and remove or swing away your scope to access backup iron sights without tools. It's a practical feature if you run iron sights as a backup or hunt in thick cover where a fast transition to open sights could matter.

Will these rings hold my scope zero through hard recoil?

The four-screw system distributes clamping force across a larger contact area than two-screw rings, reducing the risk of scope movement under recoil. Combined with Weaver's reputation for solid engineering, this design is built to keep your zero consistent through hard-kicking rounds.

What does '1 inch medium' mean?

The "1 inch" refers to the diameter of the tube that holds your scope—the most common size for modern riflescopes. "Medium" indicates the height of the rings above the rail, which determines your sight line and cheek weld; medium height is standard for most hunting and range setups.
