Should I choose a 30mm or 1-inch scope mount?

Choose a mount that matches your scope's tube diameter. Tactical and precision optics often use 30mm or 34mm tubes, while traditional hunting scopes often use 1-inch tubes.

What is a quick detach (QD) scope mount?

A quick detach scope mount uses a lever mechanism to allow fast mounting and removal of optics, often maintaining zero, perfect for rifles needing optic flexibility.

What is the advantage of a cantilever scope mount?

Cantilever mounts shift the optic forward on AR platforms, allowing proper eye relief while maintaining optimal head position and rifle handling.

🎯 How to Choose the Right Scope Mount

Choosing the right scope mount is critical to achieving precision shooting performance. Here’s what you need to know:

📌 One-Piece vs Two-Piece Mounts

One-Piece Mounts: Provide maximum rigidity and are ideal for tactical rifles (AR-15s, precision setups).
Two-Piece Rings: Lighter setup often used on hunting rifles or traditional bolt-action setups.

📌 Quick Detach (QD) vs Fixed Mounts

QD Mounts: Allow you to remove and reinstall your optic with minimal zero shift. Ideal for multi-optic setups.
Fixed Mounts: Provide the most secure lockup. Best for rifles where you don't anticipate removing optics often.

📌 Ring Size: 1-Inch, 30mm, 34mm

Match your scope’s tube diameter to the correct ring size.
30mm and 34mm tubes dominate tactical/long-range shooting for better internal adjustment range.

📌 Mount Height Matters

AR-15 platform: Use a 1.5" (lower 1/3) or absolute co-witness height.
Bolt-action rifle: Use lower mounts to maintain optimal cheek weld and scope alignment.

📚 Mounts Plus Scope Mount Buyer's Guide

When buying a scope mount, consider:

Your rifle type and use case (tactical, hunting, precision)
Durability and material (7075-T6 aluminum, steel reinforced)
Rail compatibility (Picatinny vs Weaver)
Recoil resistance (especially for magnums and heavy calibers)
Ease of installation and adjustments

💡 Pro Tip: Always torque your scope mount to manufacturer specifications and use thread locker to prevent hardware shift over time.
