The Burris SmartClip 58mm thermal riflescope mount delivers rapid optic deployment for precision shooters who demand instant target acquisition. This black aluminum mounting system accommodates 58mm objective thermal optics with the patented SmartClip mechanism that enables tool-free installation and removal in seconds.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional ring mounts that require tools and precise torque specifications, the SmartClip system uses a spring-loaded cam mechanism that automatically centers and secures thermal optics. The mount maintains zero repeatability within 0.25 MOA across multiple installations, while the aluminum construction weighs 40% less than comparable steel mounts. This design eliminates the risk of over-torquing delicate thermal housings that can cost thousands to repair.
Key Features
- Tool-free installation and removal with patented SmartClip cam system
- 58mm objective lens accommodation for large thermal imaging scopes
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- Repeatable zero return within 0.25 MOA accuracy
- Weaver/Picatinny rail compatibility with recoil lugs
- Low-profile design adds minimal height to scope mounting
- Corrosion-resistant black finish for all-weather performance
Field performance centers on the mount's ability to maintain thermal scope alignment through extreme temperature variations and heavy recoil cycles. The aluminum alloy expands at nearly identical rates to most thermal scope housings, preventing stress fractures during temperature swings from -20°F to 140°F. Law enforcement and military users report consistent point-of-impact retention after thousands of rounds through .308 Winchester and larger calibers.
