The Trijicon AC22037 Colt Knob Mount delivers precision scope mounting with integrated 20 MOA cant for extended range performance. This mount/ring combo system provides a rock-solid foundation for 34mm tube optics on AR-15 and M16 platform rifles. Built to military specifications, it maintains zero through thousands of rounds and harsh field conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard zero-cant mounts, this system incorporates 20 MOA of built-in elevation adjustment to maximize long-range potential. The Colt-style knob attachment system creates a more secure interface than traditional thumb screws, reducing the chance of loosening under recoil. Trijicon's precision machining ensures consistent return-to-zero when removing and reinstalling optics, a critical advantage for users who frequently switch between different scopes or need to transport rifles in compact cases.
Key Features
- 20 MOA cant extends effective range by 200-300 yards compared to zero-cant mounts
- 34mm ring diameter accommodates modern tactical scopes with larger objective lenses
- Colt knob attachment system provides tool-free installation and removal
- Black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum construction resists corrosion and wear
- Picatinny rail compatibility fits standard MIL-STD-1913 rail systems
- Precision-machined ring surfaces prevent scope tube damage during installation
- Low-profile design maintains iron sight co-witness capability
Field testing demonstrates this mount maintains sub-MOA accuracy through temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The 20 MOA cant proves particularly valuable for precision rifle applications where shots beyond 600 yards are common. Competition shooters appreciate the quick-detach capability for rapid scope changes between stages, while tactical users benefit from the mount's ability to maintain zero after repeated installations.
