Element XT 30mm Medium Dovetail Rifle Scope Ring Mount
If you’re running a 30mm scope on a dovetail setup and want a reliable middle-height mounting solution, the Element Optics XT 30mm Medium Dovetail Rifle Scope Ring Mount is a really solid, no-fuss option. It’s built from lightweight CNC-machined 6061 aluminium, so you get a strong and stable mount without adding unnecessary bulk to your rifle. The medium height is the most versatile choice in the range, giving enough clearance for most 30mm scope bodies while still keeping the optic low enough for a comfortable cheek weld and consistent shooting position. It’s not overcomplicated or overly tactical, just a clean, dependable mount designed to hold zero properly when installed and torqued correctly.
