Element XT 30mm High Dovetail Rifle Scope Ring Mount
If you need maximum clearance for a 1-inch scope on a dovetail setup, the Element Optics XT 1 Inch High Dovetail Rifle Scope Ring Mount is the option you go for when medium or low just won’t clear your rifle or scope. It’s built from lightweight CNC-machined 6061 aluminium, giving you a strong, stable mount without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to your setup. The high profile is designed for larger objective lenses or rifles with tight barrel clearance, making it a practical choice when you need extra space without compromising rigidity. Once installed and torqued correctly, it holds everything securely in place and keeps your zero consistent. It’s a simple, functional mount that prioritises fitment and reliability over anything fancy.

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.
