How To Shoot A Mile & Beyond - Mounts

 

A reliable riflescope mount is a must for extreme long-range shooting. A quality mount keeps your scope zeroed and aligned, maximizing your rifle's sub-MOA when shooting 2,000+ yards. Look for a mount that supports your riflescope correctly, allows easy adjustments, and has accessory integration. Weight and built-in MOA are also factors here. We recommend a light-weight precision-machined mount.

Scope Mounts for ELR - FAQ

How can a mount help with accuracy in ELR?

ELR requires hitting a target at extreme ranges. A high-quality mount ensures the perfect alignment between your scope and the rifle bore, and the tight tolerances of a precision-machined mount will keep your reticle true when shooting a mile and beyond.

How does a mount provide stability for ELR?

A strong mount locks the scope to the rifle, preventing movement from the larger calibers required for extreme long-range shooting. Built from aluminum or steel, a good mount creates a solid platform for your riflescope, allowing for consistent and accurate shots.

Why is a mount’s adjustability key for ELR?

When shooting extreme-long ranges, you need high MOA. Mounts with built-in MOA will add extra elevation that pairs with a rifle's scope built-in elevation adjustments, allowing you to line up a long-range shot properly and keep your eye relief and the cheek weld on an adjustable rifle stock.

How does a mount enhance gear compatibility for ELR?

A mount for ELR shooting can come with additional accessory mounting options. Ranging from anti-cant bubble levels to night vision, you want to ensure that your mount has the required options. The extra mounting options will streamline your kit, making it easier to line up your shot.

What should I prioritize in an ELR scope mount?

Weight and material strength are major concerns for a riflescope mount when shooting a mile and beyond. You should look for built-in MOA, tight tolerances, and a corrosion-resistant finish. Most ELR riflescopes use a 34mm tube, but you should double-check your riflescope.
