The Sightmark SM34020 eliminates the need for separate rings and bases with its integrated cantilever design that positions optics at optimal eye relief distance. This single-piece aluminum mount combines strength with the convenience of quick-detach operation for rapid scope changes.
What Makes This Different
The cantilever design extends the scope forward, providing proper eye relief for AR-15 platforms and other tactical rifles where standard rings place optics too close to the shooter's face. The built-in 20 MOA cant compensates for bullet drop at extended ranges, effectively extending the scope's elevation adjustment range. Unlike traditional ring sets that can introduce alignment issues, this one-piece construction maintains perfect scope alignment.
Key Features
- Quick-detach levers allow tool-free installation and removal while maintaining zero return
- 20 MOA built-in cant maximizes long-range elevation adjustment capability
- 30mm tube diameter accommodates most tactical and precision scopes
- Cantilever design provides 3.5-inch forward scope positioning for proper eye relief
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with matte black Type III hard anodizing
- Picatinny rail interface fits MIL-STD-1913 specification rails
- Low-profile design minimizes snag hazards and maintains clean rifle lines
Field performance centers on the mount's ability to maintain zero through repeated installations. The QD mechanism locks with 65 inch-pounds of clamping force, sufficient for magnum calibers and semi-automatic platforms. The 20 MOA cant proves valuable for precision shooting beyond 600 yards, where standard mounts exhaust elevation adjustment. Competition shooters and tactical operators benefit from the quick-change capability when switching between different magnification optics.
