What Should to Consider Before Buying Scope Mount for ATN 4k Pro

Your scope mount is a shooting system’s weakest link. Without sturdy and dependable rings and bases, even the best rifle and sight combo is useless. Frequently, an issue goes unnoticed and leads to a miss or, worse still, a hurt animal. Numerous rounds have been lost as a consequence of rings and bases being installed incorrectly, and casual plinking and target shooting are no longer enjoyable owing to the aggravation of missing simple targets.

The ideal scope mount for the ATN 4K Pro is a topic of much discussion. While some individuals prefer to utilize an AR-15 scope mount, others swear by Picatinny mounting. Whatever kind of scope mount you decide on, It’s crucial to ensure that it fits your scope properly and offers a stable platform for precise shooting.

Buying Guide for ATN 4k Pro scope Mount

Mounting a scope on your rifle is just part of the equation; in order to get the most out of your shooting experience, you must use the correct scope mount for your individual weapon. With that in mind, here are a few things to think about before you buy:

Type Of Mount

Scope mounts are designed for certain rifle types, thus selecting the correct mount for your firearm is crucial. Mounts are available for bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic rifles, and even handguns. Check to verify whether the mounts will work with your weapon. Some mounts are exclusive to weapons, while others are more universal.

Standard mounts save time and guarantee that the rings are positioned correctly in relation to one another. They are, however, significantly less frequent with quick-detach capabilities. These mounts are suitable for a wide range of scopes and provide almost limitless fore and aft adjustment, allowing you to properly dial in your preferred eyepiece. 

Quick Detachable

Quick-detach scope mounts are intended to allow you to quickly attach and detach an optic from your weapon while keeping your zero. Some folks who are obsessive with their zeroes break out in hives just thinking about removing an optic, regardless of mount style.

However, there are various reasons why this may be helpful, such as laborious tasks like cleaning and maintenance, or the need for versatility in deploying several lenses on the same top, whether multiple-day optics or to swap in thermals or night vision. A QD mount saves time and removes the need for tools in the field when removing a dead or damaged optic.

Dovetail Ring

It’s worth mentioning that if you’re outfitting an older rifle, you could come across dovetails cut right into the receiver that accept scope rings of the appropriate size. The most typical dovetail sizes are 3.8 inches and 11mm. On-air rifles and precision rimfire rifles are still popular, though either size may be difficult to perform properly without an expert hand.

You should leave it to a gunsmith because some fitting may be required. The good news is that installing dovetail rings on a new rifle at home is rather straightforward. Simply ensure that the rings you purchase are the same size as your dovetail receiver cutting.

Your Intended Use

If you intend to use your rifle for long-range shooting, you’ll need a mount with a high-quality crosshair or target reticle. If you want to use your rifle for hunting, you’ll need a more durable mount that can withstand the elements.

Each rifle has a distinct mounting mechanism that determines the sort of scope mount that is required. Picatinny rails are used on tactical rifles, although Weaver mounts are common on hunting rifles.

Size And Shape

Riflescope tubes are commonly available in three sizes: one inch, thirty millimeters, and thirty-four millimeters. Each size ring is composed of two horizontally split circular portions that clamp around the scope body and are held in place by one, two, or even three screws on each side of the ring. The fit must be snug but not overly so, or the scope will be destroyed. Screws should be tightened using a torque wrench and the torque indicated by the ring and scope manufacturers.

Other rings are available to fit 1-inch and 30-mm scope tubes. This is accomplished by creating rings for the larger size and including inserts that allow them to be reduced to the smaller diameter.

Moa Length

Because most shooters don’t dial adjustments beneath their zero distance, the idea is to crank up the majority of the adjustment range of a rifle scope to fire at targets further away. If the rifle sight has 60 MOA of elevation adjustment, 55-60 MOA should be dialable. Mounting a sight to a 20 MOA base makes it easier to achieve.

This may be desired for a variety of reasons, but the most typical rationale for choosing a 20 MOA base is the restricted range of elevation adjustment available in various rifle scopes.

Mount Ring Heights

The required ring height is determined by the size of the riflescope’s objective lens. Finally, the proper ring size will ensure that the riflescope clears the top of the barrel without taking up too much space.

Calculate the height of half of your riflescope’s widest point (typically the objective bell), then determine the height from the bottom of the ring mount to the center of the ring mount, and select the ring mount height that is slightly more than half of your riflescope’s widest point. The riflescope will clear the barrel when it is in the ring mounts.
