Burris SmartClip Thermal Riflescope Mount 53mm Black Aluminum

The Burris SmartClip Thermal mount delivers rapid optic transitions for tactical and hunting applications where split-second decisions matter. This precision-engineered mounting system accommodates 53mm objective thermal riflescopes with repeatable zero retention across multiple mounting cycles.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional ring mounts that require tools and time, the SmartClip system features a lever-actuated quick-detach mechanism that maintains zero through repeated installations. The aluminum construction provides the strength of steel rings at 40% less weight, while the integrated recoil lugs distribute stress across the entire rail system. Independent testing shows zero shift of less than 0.25 MOA after 50 mount/dismount cycles.

Key Features

• Quick-detach lever system for tool-free optic removal in under 3 seconds
• 53mm objective lens clearance accommodates most thermal riflescopes
• 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
• Fits standard Picatinny and Weaver rail systems
• Integrated recoil lugs prevent scope creep under heavy recoil
• Low-profile design maintains proper cheek weld
• Torque-spec cam levers eliminate over-tightening

Field performance demonstrates the mount's ability to maintain zero through temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The hard-anodized finish resists corrosion in marine environments and high-humidity conditions. Law enforcement agencies report successful deployment in urban operations where rapid transitions between day optics and thermal imaging provide tactical advantages.
