30mm 'low' mounts?

[Hellequin]

I'm after some 30mm mounts for a springer, however the scope going in them is a Falcon 1.5-5x30, so ideally I want to keep it as low as possible.

I usually buy Sportsmatch 30mm but have only ever found these in a 'medium', whereas their 25mm mounts come in low, medium, high etc.

So. Does anyone know of any genuinely 'low' height 30mm mounts? I don't want cheap crap but also don't really want to spend 200 quid on a set of tactical firearm rings either...

Suggestions appreciated

My favourite mounts are Sportsmatch & bkl but I wanted to use 30mm low myself. Eventualy I found some Victopics 30mm low localy at a very good price. Used on rimfire rifles & no complaints so far.

Bisley do 30mm low that look like re badged Sportsmatch but couldn't find any in stock when I needed them hence finding victoptics.

I've had to rely on some vertically split rings to get low. Some would question the quality because they're usually cheap. But probably the same alloy as most others because certain alloys are normally used for extrusion. Fairly accurate extrusion isn't rocket science. So the quality of what I've found has been acceptable. Another plus is they aren't using side clamps that almost always result in a canted scope.

Look at Ant Supplies Ltd
There is a vast amount of import brands on "the auction site" but I understand UK doesn't have access to a lot of what we can get here in the US. It's not my fault

I couldn't find any low 30mm mounts.
The mediums were not that medium when we compared them all in the shop.

I don't think a 30mm scope can go that low.

I use the Sportsmatch Meds on my Optisan CP 32mm scopes. It really doesn't need to be any lower

Our sponsors do some NS Low 30mm Mounts

The quality is ok but not upto SM levels although they are genuinely low type mounts.

Ordinarily I'd just go for those mate, but they're going on a Diana 34sm, which I think has a slightly raised dovetail, plus the cheek piece on the stock isn't exactly high by some standards.

Neither Sportsmatch or Hawke even make a low 30mm dovetail mount,
BKL, Niko sterling & Richter optics do, Optics warehouse have got the BKL's in stock, JSR have got the others.

If you look at the dimensions on the Optics Warehouse page of the BKL low mounts, and where they measure, they’re at least as high as Sportsmatch mediums…

NS mounts are about 3mm lower than Sportsmatch.
