Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I mount a red dot using this ring?

A: This ring serves as the base. To mount a red dot, you will also need one of our adapter plates. You can conveniently select the correct adapter plate for your specific red dot model from the add-on options on this product page before adding to your cart.

Q: What are the "add-on options"?

A: The add-on menu allows you to bundle this base ring with either a red dot adapter plate (e.g., for a Trijicon RMR, Vortex Venom, etc.) or a small Picatinny rail section. This creates a complete mounting solution tailored to your needs.

Q: Do I have to choose an add-on?

A: No. If you already have one of our adapter plates or only need the base ring itself, you can purchase it without an add-on.

Q: Why is this sold as a modular system?

A: A modular system provides a much more precise and secure fit for your red dot. Instead of a universal plate with multiple screw holes that can be a point of failure, our system uses a dedicated plate for your specific optic that mounts solidly to this universal base ring.

Q: Can this be mounted on a 30mm scope tube?

A: No. This specific model (63000) is designed exclusively for 1-inch scope tubes. We offer a different base ring for 30mm and 34mm scope tubes.
