Mount Advisor: Find the Right Rifle Scope Mount for Your Gun
With the jabolo Mount Advisor, you can quickly and easily find the right rifle scope mount for your gun. Simply select your gun brand, gun model and the tube diameter of your rifle scope – then we will show you suitable mounts that match your setup.
Whether you are looking for a one-piece mount, two-piece mount, mount for an 11 mm dovetail rail or Picatinny mount: The advisor helps you avoid buying the wrong mount and makes it easier to find the right solution for your air rifle, air pistol or rifle scope.
Why the right rifle scope mount is so important
A suitable rifle scope mount is essential if you want your scope to sit securely, firmly and precisely on your gun. The mount connects the optic to the gun and ensures that your scope remains properly aligned. Especially on air rifles, PCP air rifles and precision-oriented sport or recreational guns, a stable mount is an important factor for consistent accuracy and repeatable results.
If the mount does not match the gun, the rail or the tube diameter of the rifle scope, problems can occur quickly. The scope may not be fixed correctly, may sit too high or too low, may shift during shooting or may be difficult to zero. The jabolo Mount Advisor helps you avoid these issues by narrowing down suitable mount options for your specific setup.
One-piece mount or two-piece mount?
Rifle scope mounts are often divided into one-piece mounts and two-piece mounts. Both options can be useful depending on the gun, the rifle scope and the intended use.
A one-piece rifle scope mount consists of one continuous mount body with two rings. This keeps the rings firmly aligned with each other and provides a particularly stable connection between the gun and the rifle scope. One-piece mounts are often chosen when a robust, repeatable and solid mounting solution is required.
A two-piece rifle scope mount consists of two separate mount rings. This allows the rifle scope to be positioned more flexibly on the rail. This can be especially helpful if the eye relief needs to be adjusted individually or if the design of the gun only offers limited space for mounting.
The correct tube diameter for your rifle scope
One of the most important factors when choosing a suitable mount is the tube diameter of the rifle scope. The mount rings must match the diameter of the scope exactly. Common sizes include 25.4 mm, 30 mm and 34 mm.
A mount for a 30 mm tube is not automatically suitable for a rifle scope with a 25.4 mm tube. If the wrong size is selected, the rifle scope cannot be clamped correctly. That is why the jabolo Mount Advisor asks for the tube diameter and only shows mount options that match your selection.
11 mm dovetail rail, Weaver or Picatinny?
In addition to the tube diameter, the rail on your gun is also crucial. Many air rifles use an 11 mm dovetail rail. Other models use a Picatinny rail or a Weaver/Picatinny-compatible rail. The rifle scope mount must always match the rail system in order to be attached securely.
A mount for an 11 mm dovetail rail does not automatically fit a Picatinny rail. Likewise, a Picatinny mount is not suitable for every 11 mm rail. This is why selecting the gun brand and gun model is so helpful: the Mount Advisor narrows down compatible mounts based on your specific gun.
Mount height: low, medium or high?
The mount height also plays an important role when choosing the right rifle scope mount. The height determines how high the scope sits above the gun. If the mount is too low, the objective lens may touch the barrel, rail or other parts of the gun. If the mount is too high, it can affect your head position and shooting stance.
The ideal mount height depends on factors such as the objective lens diameter of the scope, the design of the gun and your personal shooting position. Many setups work well with medium-height mounts, while larger scopes with large objective lenses often require a higher mount.
Why are several suitable mounts shown?
For many gun and rifle scope combinations, there is not just one suitable rifle scope mount. Several mounts may be technically compatible. These can differ in height, material, finish, clamping system, manufacturer and overall quality level.
The jabolo Mount Advisor therefore shows you several suitable products. This allows you to decide whether you want a solid standard mount, a particularly high-quality rifle scope mount or a special solution for maximum stability. All displayed products are suitable for your selection – you choose the mount that best fits your expectations and budget.
