The Steiner 5970 T-Series Scope Mount/Ring Combo delivers precision mounting for 30mm riflescopes with aircraft-grade aluminum construction. This integrated mount system eliminates the alignment issues common with separate ring and base setups while maintaining zero under heavy recoil.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional two-piece mounting systems, the T-Series features a one-piece design that distributes stress evenly across the receiver. The mount's steel cross-bolts resist scope slippage under magnum recoil forces exceeding 50 foot-pounds. Precision-machined contact surfaces ensure repeatable zero retention when removing and reinstalling optics.
Key Features
- One-piece 30mm tube design eliminates ring-to-base misalignment
- Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- Steel cross-bolts with 18 inch-pounds torque specification
- Fits standard Picatinny/Weaver rail systems
- Matte black finish reduces glare and resists corrosion
- Precision-lapped ring surfaces accommodate 30mm scope tubes
- Integrated recoil lugs prevent forward scope movement
Field testing demonstrates consistent point-of-impact retention through temperature cycles from -20°F to 140°F. The mount maintains zero through 500+ rounds of .300 Winchester Magnum without loosening. Competition shooters report sub-MOA groups remain consistent when switching between multiple rifles using identical mount configurations.
