#scope mounts

Every hunter and shooter have specific preferences in terms of which they choose their favourite rifle, gun or pistol. 

They also have a favourite telescopic sight, and for those that prefer to mount or attach these to their rifle, they look around to find the best scope mount system to complete the process. Some shooters buy their rifle with the sight already attached by the gun shop they deal with, but for many, it is about being able to choose the one they like best, and - in many cases – to mount the sights themselves. 

To this end it is important to know what you need, and where you would find the appropriate systems or products to complete the perfect installation on top of the rifle. The scope mount system exists, typically, of the scope mount base, and rings meant for use with the specific base. These (base and rings) are the scope mount system one needs to attach to the rifle for the telescopic sight to be attached. 

Most often hunters and shooters can choose from either a 1-piece ring system or a 2-piece. It is important for the individual that enjoys DIY and who would like to mount the scope base and rings to their rifle, to make sure they find the appropriate system that will ensure their sights are fitted perfectly so that accuracy when firing is always guaranteed. Of course, you would be looking for the best quality product, one that is made to last, one that is affixed to your rifle to ensure there are no movable parts between the scope mount base and rifle. This assurance helps aid absolute accuracy for the shooter. 

Many rifle owners choose the DIY options, i.e., to buy the mount base and rings from a recommended, trusted dealer or manufacturer as opposed to having these fitted before they take their rifle home. This is true for so many of the leading brands, right from the Browning, Savage, Kimber and Merlin – and other admired brands such as, say, Tikka. Scope mount systems for Tikka and other leading brands can be bought from the brand’s dealers, or specialist manufacturers and suppliers of scope mount systems. 

In the US, for example, it is possible to find a good manufacturer of scopes and rings for use with Tikka and other brands without having to shop around in your town or city. Some of the best of these manufacturers/suppliers have great websites with all the necessary detail about their services, the scopes and rings they have available, and then of course an online ordering system. 

The buyer needs to know what to be looking out for, such as quality, a system that will last – even the lifetime of the rifle –and that will aid accuracy once mounted on the rifle. It is also important to know you pay attention to specific requirements in terms of features such as the size you are after as that has to correspond with your Marlin, your Tikka or another brand. Depending on specific requirements, choices normally vary from 1 inch and 30mm to 34mm. One has to establish beforehand which to order. 

And, of course, it is equally important to know that you are ordering scopes and rings for a Tikka T3, TX3, or for a Tikka Model Tactical, for example. These and other features have bearing on the most applicable scope mount system, whether for Tikka, Ruger or another brand. The buyer must make sure they pay attention to the above and other relevant requirements, such as the tools – an Allen wrench or another – to be used when affixing the system. 

Talk to the retailer that you buy from, find out from the online service you may be dealing with what their recommendations are, and what the best system for your Tikka or another firearm would be.

The Ruger 10/22 rifle is the most widely used and best-selling semi-automatic firearm. It is a semi-automatic, rimfire rifle that was first introduced in 1964 by Ruger (formally known as Sturm Ruger & Co). The Marlin Model 60 is a close second on the market with 22 rifles. When it comes to Ruger scope mounts, you should know that nothing will look better on your Ruger than a set of precision-made Ruger scope rings - and nothing works better, either.

Ruger rifles are built with a patented dovetail, which eliminates the requirement for a base before connecting a set of rings to mount a scope. Some manufacturers in the United States produce best-in-class firearm-specific fitments, taking into account each rifle's design, recoil, and features, as well as the needs of the shooter in a variety of scenarios. Their solutions are tiny, well crafted, and weigh only a few ounces, allowing shooters to attain the accuracy they desire in the field.

When shopping for scope mounts, you should be aware of the fact that there are several well-known scope ring (and base) manufacturers in the USA, each of which sells rings of varying heights. However, most ring brands provide rings in either a high or low height. Precision-machined Ruger American scope mounts often fit both right- and left-hand rifles. At a quarter of the weight, they absorb shock and endure temperature extremes better than steel mounts.

Before delving too far into the topic of scope rings, it is critical to grasp the role and significance of rings and bases in terms of accuracy. The rings (and bases) are the only locations at which the scope is attached to the rifle, and if that mounting or attachment isn't secure, the sight will move or shift.

Some of the more expensive scope ring brands provide more specific ring heights, such as low, ultra-low, medium, high, and extra high. The ocular bell size is the lowest scope ring height setting. These bells are available in a range of sizes, all of which are usually measured in mm. The larger the ocular bell size, the greater the ring height required to keep the scope from contacting the barrel and the rifle action from jamming. For example, the scope must be positioned high enough on a bolt action rifle, to ensure no contact with the scope.

To put it another way, if you're mounting a 42mm ocular sight on a bolt action rifle, you'll most likely be able to use rings of low or medium size. If you are going to mount a scope with a larger ocular bell, and depending on the brand and type, you may need to upgrade to high scope rings, or possibly medium-high rings to house the larger 50mm ocular bell.

One of the country's most recognized manufacturers' Game Reaper Series is a one-piece scope mount system precisely manufactured to connect flawlessly with your rifle's receiver and fit each type of firearm. Each ring and base is machined from a complete block of top-grade billet 6061T6 aluminium and has up to four times more thread – a full 1/2 inch – for maximum strength and security. They are easy to install and do not require any lapping.

There isn't a perfect solution when it comes to the perfect scope mount. Everyone has different shooting skills and how you use your rifle and what you use it for will determine the best result. Though you may be wondering where you should be choosing a scope mount that is flat or tapered. 

Many believe a tapered base is stronger and versatile, but flat bases are suited for several different reasons. Don't choose a scope mount just because you like the look, rather choose one that is best suited to your shooting skill and use. This means testing your competency. If you shoot less than five hundred yards, you won't benefit from a tapered base. Longer distance shooting can also benefit from a flat base, especially with a scope of eighty-five to one-twenty moa of internal adjustment.

Most scopes have enough internal adjustment to reach one thousand years, but those will fewer adjustments, will benefit more from a tapered base. Flat bases are practical and comfortable with good ergonomics. It has a good cheek bond and reduces the need to lift your head off the stock, keeping your cheek down on the stock, reducing neck strain. Flat-based scope mounts are also lighter while remaining strong. 

Tapered bases on the other hand will force your head from the stock when going over ten moa taper. This means adjusting the cheek rest to support your head. Tapered bases should not flex when mounted, they should be rigid, which has its pros and cons. 

Flat and tapered bases are suitable for long-range shooting, but which one you choose is down to personal preference, your shooting style, and your skill.  The most important part of choosing a scope mount is to assess your style and skill before making any decisions. If you don't shoot long distance, then you can do with a flat-based scope mount, they are also great for training. 

You are also going to want to conduct some of your research to find a scope mount specialist that will custom make a scope based on your firearm, skills, and style. The internet is brimming with companies offering their products, so you will want to sit down and conduct some research of your own to identify the companies that will custom make a scope mount specifically for your firearm and your needs.

Ask other shooting enthusiasts where they got their scope mounts and if they are happy. Word of mouth is always a great way to find the scope mount you need. Though always conduct some of your research, such as visiting the company website to learn more about them, their products, and their processes. You will also want to visit some independent review sites, online forums, and social media pages to get feedback from past and present clients before choosing the right supplier for your scope mount.

Then call the company and discuss your needs. If they are in your location, take your firearm and visit their store to take advantage of their experience and comprehensive advice. Most companies these days you can order your scope mount online and have it delivered to your door. View the scope mounts available, read up on their descriptions and sizes, along with the right screws you need. Complete your firearm information and any other information required to custom make your scope mount to ensure the best results.

Until recently, it wasn't that common to see scopes and telescopic sights on firearms, but now they are mounted on rifles, shotguns, and handguns offering a host of advantages, including being able to zoom in on objects in the distance, making aiming more accurate. Most hunting rifles today are already drilled and tapped, ready to mount an optic at any time.

If you are new to shooting, then mounting a scope may seem a little daunting, but it's quite a simple process. It all starts with selecting the right scope that fits not only your firearm but your budget. You can choose between fixed power or variable with variable power scopes enabling you to change magnification within a certain range.  The best way to choose a scope is to determine the objective of the scope, are you going to be shooting long-range hunting, for example? 

The next step is to choose the base and rings, which are important to mountain a scope. You need bases, rings and a scope to complete the installation. Bases are where the mounting attaches to the firearm, which is usually done with screws. The base is responsible for supporting the rings. 

The scope base is screwed onto the receiver of the firearm. Most hunting rifles today come already drilled and tapped. The base must sit securely and properly in place, tying the scope and rings to the rifle. The lever on the side of the base will allow the rings to be released, enabling you to remove the scope or change scopes quickly and easily.  Some rifles come with the base already machined into the gun, you do not need to purchase them separately. 

In addition to this, you need to know the height of the rings you need to hold the scope above the firearm bore. The choice you make will be determined by the size of the scope and how your head is positioned on the stock when you have your gun on your shoulder. Medium is the most common choice, but they do go up to extra high. The scope ring width is the diameter of the tube of the scope, most of which are one inch in thickness. Some expensive scopes can have 30mm diameters. Ensure the rings match the scopes tube diameter before you make your purchase.

Once you have everything in front of you, you will want to install the rings to the base. Some will twist into place, while others will be screwed down. Some need a Torx head tool or hex, ensure this tool is included when you make your purchase so you can complete your mounting. Torx wrenches are used to secure the screws in place. Ensure the base and rings are all securely tightened. 

The majority of scope rings come with a left or right half of the upper and lower half. For those that are divided horizontally, it is important to attach the lower half of the ring first, securing the front and rear screws. Then lay the firearm over and tighten the upper half of the ring.

Rings that are cut in the left and right half, rather than an upper and lower half, are strong systems. Once you tighten the rings and base, you can tighten everything up, ensuring the scope is secured between both sets of ring halves. The base must be securely locked in place. Do not tighten the scope rings too early, wait until you have the scope in place, ensuring it is properly aligned before tightening the rings.
