Low rings on tact zone??

[WarriorWithin]

Hi guys,

I was saving up for a hawke xb1 scope but got a very good deal on a lightly used tact zone. For the price I couldn't pass it up! Anywho I was wondering what rings would work best on my micro? I assume that I can use low height rings but wasn't sure. Any advice would be great!
Thanks

Red field 30mm medium rings are the lowest you can get and clear everything. I have them on all of my excals with tact and twilights.

Well that's good to know! I was going to buy these but I guess I'll keep my eyes open for a set of redfield's

They don't have to be Redfield but should be medium height. Lots of different styles on Amazon.

I bought low and should have gone with the Med's! Live & learn!!!

Be advised..LOW from one Mfg is not the same as "LOW" from another. You have to look up the mfg's dimensions to actually compare.

I personally know these fit as low as possible and still clear perfectly with both Twilight as well as Tact Zone on all 3 different Excalibur scope mounts. They are inexpensive, but are still nice quality. IMHO these are the BEST rings for Excal/30mm scopes and just flat out work better than every other ring I've tried(including expensive ones)

I torque the caps @ 20 in. # and the crossbolts @40 in #...they do NOT move.

Dead Zone scope needs medium rings also. Tried to put one on a bow yesterday with low rings and it would not fit as it bottomed out.

What size rings come with the package deal Excalibur Matrix 380 Tac-Zone scopes. I just bought one from a co-worker for my Vixen and it came with rings.

Probably the medium rings.

Wow, this is great! I googled the crap out of this trying to figure it out and a simple post gets all this great info. This site rocks

Warriorwithin, should of held out for the Hawke scope. I had 2 tackzones and way to much fish eye for me. When i pull up a gun or bow i want the scope right there without moving my head around to see out of it. You won't get that with a Chinese made scope it will be like looking through pop bottles till you get your head lined up in the perfect spot to see out the tactzone.Wish you luck . Fred

I have heard comments of the "fish eye" from some Tactzone owners. I guess I've gotten lucky! I have two Tactzones & have not had a bit of problem. The scope & focus is right there when I shoulder my bow. I have found my Tactzones to be great scopes.

Hey Fred,

I only jumped on it cause it was a good price. I might still end up with a hawke if this scope isn't to my liking (should be able to sell it no problem for at least what I paid for it!). Plus the tact zone is covered by excalibur's great customer service and I've got some time to try it out before the fall when I really need it.

Thanks again guys

Not so much luck as knowing how to set up your scope I think.
Set the eye relief and the ocular lens adjustment correct for your eyes and the fish eye disappears. This is pretty much the same for the Hawke compact also I have been told. It has some fish eye also if not set up properly.
