After buying a new rifle scope, you need a rifle scope mount, which consists of two main components: a base or rail and scope rings. The base is the platform that secure the rings, and then you use the rings to secure the rifle scope to your rifle. However, before you buy, you need to make sure you have the correct size rings to fit the scope. The most common scope ring sizes range from 30mm to 40mm. If you're unsure about which mounting platform is right for your optic, check out our library of How-To Guides, especially our guide on How to Properly Mount a Rifle Scope. 
Are All Rifle Scope Mounts the Same?
The short answer to this is no. Rifle scope mounts are made to fit specific types of rifle scopes, and you need to get the right one to match your optic. For example, scope mounts can vary greatly in size, and the correct one depends on the size of your optic. Additionally, you need to make sure you get the right one to mount to your Weaver or Picatinny rail, as there isn’t always an even crossover. Our selection features cantilever scope mounts, SKS scope mounts, M1A scope mounts, and other specialized scope mounts to ensure a secure, proper fit for your optic and firearm.
Can You Mount a Rifle Scope on a Shotgun?
Yes, you can. This is a common practice for hunters, as slugs can be accurate at long ranges. You just need to make sure your rifle has the appropriate Weaver or Picatinny rails, and then you can attach a shotgun base, scope rings, and a rifle scope to the weapon.
What Is the Difference Between a One-Piece Mount and a Two-Piece Mount?
The main difference is that a two-piece rifle scope base is much smaller and lighter than a one-piece mount. Since the two-piece option isn’t connected in the middle, you can spread the base out to the correct length which makes the overall mount look sleek and slim in comparison to one-piece options. However, one-piece scope mounts are much more durable, making them more suitable for higher-recoil rounds.
