Choosing Optics Mounts: Monoblock or Rings?
- DAVIKA Team
When choosing a mount for your optical scope, it's important to consider various factors to ensure the effective and reliable operation of your rifle. One of the critical choices is between opting for a monoblock mount or individual rings.
Monoblock Mount: Stability and Convenience
A monoblock mount for an optical sight is a single-piece construction where two rings for holding the sight tube are integrated into one block. This approach has several advantages. Firstly, a monoblock mount provides greater rigidity of the construction, ensuring the alignment of the rings even if mounted on a rail with deviations. Furthermore, monoblock mounts for sight installation can be made with an incline, allowing for increased vertical adjustments of the sight. Finally, the integral design of a monoblock allows for the removal and reinstallation of the optical sight without losing the zero, making it particularly convenient for scenarios where visual conditions change rapidly.
Individual Rings for Sight: Flexibility in Adjustments
Despite the advantages of a monoblock, individual rings for mounting an optical sight also have their benefits. In particular, they provide the ability to offset each ring on the Picatinny rail at any distance from each other. This allows the shooter to flexibly adjust the position of the optical sight relative to the firearm, taking into account individual requirements and shooting conditions.
The choice between a monoblock and individual rings for mounting an optical sight depends on your needs, shooting style, and other factors. When making a decision, it's worth carefully considering the advantages of each type of mount and the specifics of your firearm to achieve the best results installation can be made with an tilt, allowing for increased vertical adjustments of the scope. Finally, the integral design of a monoblock allows for the removal and reinstallation of the optical scope without losing the zero, making it particularly convenient for scenarios where visual conditions change rapidly.
