Element XT 1 Inch Medium Rifle Scope Ring Dovetail Mount
If you want a solid, no-fuss mounting option for a 1-inch scope on a dovetail rail, the Element Optics XT 1 Inch Medium Rifle Scope Ring Dovetail Mount is the safe “middle ground” choice that fits most setups. It’s designed to give you a strong, stable hold without adding unnecessary weight or bulk, using a simple but effective CNC-machined aluminium construction. The medium height is the most versatile in the range, giving enough clearance for most 1-inch scope bodies while still keeping the optic low enough for a comfortable cheek weld and consistent shooting position. It’s not over-engineered or complicated, just a clean, reliable mount that does its job properly and keeps your zero where it should be once it’s torqued down correctly.

Available in both Dovetail and Picatinny, the XT Mounts provide a lightweight, affordable scope mounting solution without sacrificing any build quality. Element Optics have designed the XT Mounts to be structurally solid, with looks to compliment the sleekest of rifle setups. There is something for everyone. These are available for 30mm and 1” body tubes, and in a variety of height options.
Torque guidelines should be followed for the best possible results, as overtorquing rings can lead to temporary or permanent damage of the riflescope body tube and internals. These specs can be found below in the “specification” tab.
