Premium Scope Mounting Solutions
Quality scope mounts are more than just accessories – they're critical components that directly impact your shooting performance. A proper mount creates the essential connection between rifle and optic, maintaining zero through countless rounds while withstanding recoil, field conditions, and regular use.
Types of Scope Mounts
One-Piece Mounts: Engineered for superior stability and strength, these integrated mounts provide excellent rigidity for tactical applications and heavy recoil scenarios. Their streamlined design makes for quick installation and a clean, professional appearance on your rifle.
Cantilever Mounts: Specialized mounts featuring an extended forward design that positions optics with optimal eye relief while maintaining mounting on the receiver only. Ideal for modern sporting rifles and precision AR platforms requiring proper positioning of longer scopes.
Tactical Mounting Systems: From Picatinny-compatible mounts with rock-solid lockup to quick-detach (QD) systems allowing rapid optic changes without losing zero, our tactical mounting solutions are built for professional-grade performance under demanding conditions.
Long-Range Scope Mounts: Our selection includes specialized 20 MOA mounts designed specifically for long-range applications, providing the additional elevation needed for extreme distance shooting while maintaining perfect alignment and stability.
Scope Mount FAQs
Why is torque specification important?
Proper torque application (typically 15-25 inch-pounds for rings and 25-30 inch-pounds for bases) ensures optimal clamping force without distorting your scope tube or stripping hardware. Using a calibrated torque driver eliminates guesswork and provides consistent, repeatable results during installation. Always be sure to use the proper amount of torque specified by your mounts manufacturer when installing.
What's the advantage of a 20 MOA mount?
A 20 MOA mount provides additional elevation adjustment by tilting the scope's line of sight downward, effectively extending your elevation range for extreme distance shooting. This design maximizes your scope's internal adjustment capacity, allowing for accurate compensation of bullet drop at extended ranges.
How do I ensure proper reticle leveling?
Precision shooters should use dedicated leveling tools to ensure the reticle is perfectly perpendicular to the rifle's action. This critical alignment prevents cant-induced errors that compound at distance. Methods include using a plumb line reference or specialized scope leveling kits with receiver and reticle levels.
Do I need a cantilever mount for my AR platform?
For AR-pattern rifles with magnified optics, cantilever mounts solve the challenge of limited rail space by extending the scope forward while keeping mounting points on the receiver. This design allows proper eye relief while maintaining a solid mounting foundation entirely on the upper receiver.
