Mono-block mounts

Monoblock mounts are a synonym for tactical mounts made from one piece of material and meant to withstand the hardest possible conditions. Usually such mounts are made from high quality aluminium alloy and much less common from steel, since one-piece monoblock mounts from steel are too heavy.

Majority of such mounts are made to fit on picatinny rails, with rare exceptions that are suitable for the most common tactical rifles with indigenous mounting solutions. Such rifles are Sako TRG, Accuracy International, Sauer SSG 3000 and similar.

The main advantages of monoblock mounts are:

• Perfect alignment of the front and rear rings due to one-piece design (no lapping needed),
• big contact surface between the rings and the rifle scope,
• on recoil, better stress distribution across all contact surface,
• a lot of monoblock mounts offer build in inclination for long range shooting (10, 20, 30 MOA),
• this type of mounts offer the widest range of accessories among all types of mounts (ACI, Levels, additional red dots, additional picatinny rails etc.),
• the most robust type of mount.

Since monoblock mounts offer a lot of advantages, we do have to add that due to their specific styling they are mostly suitable for tactical rifles and not the elegant hunting rifles and similar. Most of the monoblock mounts are also fixed and don’t offer quick detachment, neither do they return to zero when reattached to the rifle.

For mounting on AR rifles Cantilever monoblock mounts are the most suitable. These mounts extend forward so that the proper eye-relief is obtained.
