Your scope – and your accuracy – is only as good as the one or two-piece scope mount it rests on. A cheap rifle scope mount (or the stock piece that came with your gun) could be out of alignment and worsen from repeated shot recoil over time. An uneven mount will exert inconsistent pressure on your scope, reducing its long-range accuracy and potentially damaging it or losing the zero point.

A quality scope mount will stand the test of time, holding up against countless recoil shocks, weathering effects, and any accidental knocks it takes in the field. That’s why if you’re evaluating options for the right single-piece mount, you’ll want to know the key factors to consider. 

We’ll explore three essential things to look for in a one-piece scope mount.  

Quality Materials and Manufacturing

It starts with the processes and materials to manufacture the mount system. The material must provide stability, rigidity, and durability over the years to support shooting accuracy. This means it can’t be warped or damaged by exposure to weather, occasional impacts, and shot recoil. 

For these reasons, we recommend your first decision should be to buy an American-made product. It’s your best bet for getting quality scope rings. Domestic companies generally source good materials, use high-precision manufacturing processes, have quality control checks, and are accountable for product issues. 

Next, carefully examine which materials each manufacturer uses to make the mount’s base and rings. You’ll want it to be a robust yet not overly heavy metal used in fabrication. Our specific suggestion is to go with billet aluminum, which is strong, rigid, and ultralight, rather than steel or alloys. 

Lightweight and Durable

You don’t want your scope mount to add unnecessary weight to your rifle. The difference may seem small, but a few ounces could make your gun more awkward to handle in moments where you need to adjust quickly, such as hunting or tactical situations. It’s also extra weight you’ll have to lug around with all the rest of your gear.

In addition to weight considerations, the strength and resilience of the single-piece scope mount are key. You’ll want a rugged product that can handle being out in hot or cold weather, repeatedly absorb recoil shock, and any knocks out in the field without affecting your sighting and accuracy.

Billet aluminum checks all of these boxes: it’s lightweight yet tough as nails even after years of wear, tear, and gunfire. 

Customized for Your Rifle and Its Receiver

A scope mount is no good to you if it doesn’t fit your rifle or align precisely with the frame. You could research whether a gun and mount are a fit. Or you can find a manufacturer who customizes their product for your gun’s specifications. One benefit is that a custom manufacturer can create mounts for any new guns you get in the future.
