The Burris SmartClip 62mm thermal scope mount delivers rapid attachment and detachment capabilities for thermal optics without sacrificing zero retention. This precision-engineered mounting solution accommodates 62mm objective thermal scopes with repeatable return-to-zero performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional ring mounts that require tools for removal, the SmartClip system uses a proprietary lever mechanism that allows shooters to mount and dismount thermal optics in seconds. The mount maintains consistent positioning through a spring-loaded retention system that applies uniform pressure across the scope tube. Testing shows zero shift of less than 0.25 MOA after 50 mount/dismount cycles, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent optic changes.
Key Features
- Tool-free quick-detach lever system for rapid thermal scope changes
- Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- Accommodates 62mm objective thermal imaging scopes
- Spring-loaded retention mechanism maintains consistent clamping force
- Low-profile design minimizes snag points and reduces overall height
- Compatible with standard Picatinny and Weaver rail systems
- Integrated recoil lugs prevent scope movement under heavy recoil
Field performance demonstrates the mount's ability to maintain zero across temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The hard-anodized finish resists corrosion in marine environments and high-humidity conditions. Law enforcement and military users benefit from the ability to quickly transition between day optics and thermal imaging without re-zeroing. The mount handles recoil from calibers up to .338 Lapua Magnum while maintaining scope alignment.
