Element XT 30mm Low Picatinny Rifle Scope Ring Mount
If you’re running a 30mm scope on a Picatinny rail and want a simple, low-profile mounting solution, the Element Optics XT 30mm Low Picatinny Rifle Scope Ring Mount is a solid, no-nonsense option. It’s built from CNC-machined 6061 aluminium, so you get a lightweight but still properly rigid mount that doesn’t add unnecessary bulk to your rifle. The low height keeps your scope sitting close to the bore, which helps with a more natural cheek weld and a cleaner overall setup, especially on hunting or precision-style rifles. Even though it’s part of the more budget-friendly XT range, it still holds zero reliably when installed correctly and torqued to spec, making it a dependable “fit it once and forget it” kind of mount.

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.
