Compatibility before checkout
What fits?
Start with the firearm’s exact mounting system, not just the words “optics ready.” Results include only a native direct fit or an adapter supplied in the selected optic’s package; separately purchased plates are intentionally excluded.
What fits my firearm?
Select the exact factory mounting system or documented configuration, then choose an optic from the catalog. This adds fit guidance without changing any product information.
Fit safeguard: “Optics ready” and a shared footprint name are not guarantees. The list excludes paths that depend on a separately purchased plate. Slide generation, plate revision, recoil bosses, screw thread and length, optic body clearance, and sight height can all change the answer.
Scope mounting height estimator
Use actual measurements to estimate the minimum ring height. “Low,” “medium,” and “high” labels vary by manufacturer, so this tool returns measurements you can compare with a specific ring maker’s chart.
- Measure the bell’s actual outside diameter; the advertised objective size is not enough.
- Add room for lens caps, barrel taper, rear sights, and any obstruction beneath the scope.
- Verify bolt-handle and eyepiece clearance, ring spacing, usable tube length, and cheek weld.
- Have the final firearm, base, rings, and scope combination checked before installation.
