Scope Rings & Mounts

Secure and Precise Mounting Solutions for Your Optics

Scope rings and mounts play a crucial role in ensuring your optics are securely attached and properly aligned with your firearm or airgun. The right scope rings and mounts provide a stable platform for your scope, maintain zero accuracy, and help achieve the correct eye relief. With options available in various heights, materials, and designs, finding the right combination is essential for improved accuracy, comfort, and performance in all shooting scenarios.

Why Scope Rings and Mounts Matter

Your scope is only as good as its mounting system. Without the proper rings and mounts, even the best optics can fail to deliver consistent performance. Secure and stable scope rings keep your scope in place, maintaining alignment and ensuring that every shot stays accurate. A good mounting system helps you achieve the ideal shooting position and maximizes the scope’s capabilities.

Types of Scope Rings and Mounts

Standard Scope Rings

Scope rings are typically used to attach a scope directly to a mounting base or rail on your rifle. They come in a variety of sizes, heights, and materials to suit different optics and mounting systems.

• Low, Medium, and High Rings: The height of the rings determines the position of your scope above the rifle's rail. Low rings offer a closer alignment to the bore, ideal for compact scopes. Medium and high rings provide more clearance for larger objective lenses, allowing proper eye relief and positioning.

• One-Inch and 30 mm Tube Rings: Ensure that the rings match the diameter of your scope's main tube. Common sizes are one inch (25.4 mm) and 30 mm, but some scopes require different dimensions. Choosing the correct size is essential for a secure fit.

One-Piece and Two-Piece Mounts

Scope mounts come in one-piece or two-piece designs, offering different levels of stability and flexibility.

• One-Piece Mounts: These mounts are designed as a single unit, offering maximum stability and alignment for your scope. They are perfect for long-range shooting or high-recoil rifles, where maintaining zero is crucial.

• Two-Piece Mounts: Comprising two separate rings, two-piece mounts offer more flexibility in positioning and are often lighter. They are ideal for hunters or shooters who need to adjust the mounting position or prefer a less bulky setup.

Cantilever and Offset Mounts

Cantilever and offset mounts are designed to extend your scope forward or position it to the side for optimal eye relief and rail space management. These mounts are particularly useful for rifles with short rails or when you need to create space for additional accessories, such as red dot sights or backup iron sights.

Quick-Detach (QD) Mounts

Quick-detach mounts offer the convenience of easily removing or swapping scopes and optics without losing zero. QD mounts use a lever or locking mechanism to secure the scope in place, making it quick to change optics in the field or switch between magnified scopes and red dot sights.

Choosing the Right Scope Rings and Mounts

When selecting scope rings and mounts, consider the following factors:

• Scope Size and Tube Diameter: Ensure that the ring diameter matches your scope tube (most commonly one inch or 30 mm). Select ring height based on the size of your objective lens, ensuring proper clearance above the rifle.

• Mounting System Compatibility: Check that your rings or mounts are compatible with your rifle's mounting base or rail system, such as Picatinny, Weaver, or Dovetail rails.

• Durability and Material: Look for rings and mounts made from high-quality materials like aluminum or steel for strength and durability. A solid, shockproof design is important to withstand recoil and maintain accuracy over time.

• Shooting Application and Comfort: Choose mounts that offer the proper eye relief and shooting comfort for your application, whether it's hunting, long-range shooting, or tactical use. Cantilever mounts may provide better eye relief for rifles with short rails, while QD mounts offer versatility for changing optics quickly.

Benefits of Quality Scope Rings and Mounts

• Secure and Stable Mounting: Well-made rings and mounts keep your scope firmly in place, maintaining zero and ensuring every shot is accurate and on target.

• Improved Eye Relief and Comfort: Properly mounted scopes offer the ideal eye relief, allowing for quick target acquisition and a comfortable shooting position.

• Versatility and Flexibility: With the right mounts, you can easily swap optics, achieve the right positioning for your scope, and adjust to different shooting styles or environments.
