Overview

Built for mounting high-power optics on a bolt-action rifle, this scope mount is intended for shooters who want a low-profile setup without built-in eye relief adjustment. It is precision machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished with a hard coat T3 Mil-Spec anodize, giving it a straightforward, purpose-driven design. The patented QD Auto Lock Lever system is designed to work with both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems, which can be useful when equipment compatibility matters.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • This is the lowest mount in the line, so fit and clearance should be checked carefully with your rifle and optic setup.
  • It is a straight scope mount with no built-in eye relief adjustment, so eye position must be managed by the shooter and optic placement.
  • Designed for 35mm optics on a bolt-action rifle, which makes it a specialized choice rather than a general-purpose mount.
  • The QD Auto Lock Lever system is intended to work with both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems, but rail compatibility should still be verified on your specific rifle.
