Best Sporting Optics Mounts of 2026

"I upgraded my rifle with this 20mm Picatinny rail to replace the old 11mm Weaver, and it’s been a fantastic choice. It fits perfectly and lets me use a wide range of modern optics. Plus, it looks sharp and comes at a great price."

"All four mounting holes lined up exactly right on my Ruger 10/22. The supplied screws were nearly perfect in length and I appreciate the hex heads. The rail feels solid and works perfectly with my Picatinny accessories. My only complaint is that the top groove isn’t deep enough to use the iron sights, even with nothing mounted."

"This rail was the perfect fit for my new 10/22, replacing the outdated Weaver system. I had no trouble mounting my Vortex scope, and everything sits secure and stable."

"I had my doubts at first, but after checking the alignment, fit, and sturdiness, I decided to keep these rings. They mounted tightly and felt solid. The price is great for what you get, and they seem to fill a gap for affordable, high 1-inch mounts. Looking forward to testing them on my 30-06 at the range."

"I've used Monstrum rings for several builds, and every style has been well-machined and reliable. They always keep my scopes on zero and lock down securely. They’re a fantastic value and function perfectly every time."

"These Monstrum precision rings provided a tight, stable hold for my 1-inch scope. Installation was simple and everything lined up perfectly. I didn't need to make any adjustments, and the quality feels premium at this price point. Definitely recommend for anyone seeking durable, budget-friendly rings."

"I found the installation to be quick and straightforward on my 10/22, and the rail fit like a glove. After mounting my scope and putting a few hundred rounds through, everything stayed secure and solid. My only gripe is that the factory iron sights are unusable with the rail mounted, but otherwise, I’m really satisfied."

"This rail was a perfect match for my 10-22 takedown. Bolted on easily, felt sturdy, and saved me a lot compared to others. It’s been able to hold a heavier optic without any issues."

"I really appreciated the high-quality finish and crisp color on this little rail for my 1022. Even though I had to return it because my takedown model needs a different mount for better zero, I’d still highly recommend the company’s products."

"I used this to mount my Osight SE onto a Glock 19 with an aftermarket slide, and it fit absolutely perfectly. The packaging was impressive and included all the hardware needed for installation. I did have to trim the screws a bit since they were slightly too long, but that’s a common issue with gun accessories—no big deal."

"This adapter plate is incredibly well-made and worked flawlessly with my RMR cut slide. The quality really exceeded my expectations, and it came with all the mounting screws I needed. For about $20, I’d say it’s the best value out there for an adapter plate."

"I couldn’t find an RMSc aftermarket slide for my Glock 26, so I tried this adapter with an RMR-cut slide instead. It fit perfectly, and the included screws held everything securely in place. Just note, you might need different screws if your slide doesn’t use M3 threads. For less than $20, this was a fantastic solution for mounting my optic."

"I found this rail perfect for my son's needs, and had no issues attaching the scope. It's a great product that I would definitely recommend."

"The rail included screws for both old and new Savage models, which was convenient. I did notice the hole closest to the barrel was not threaded quite deep enough, but a quick file fixed it. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of."

"Everything lined up perfectly and I would have given 5 stars, but it came with flat head screws. I would have preferred star key screws, but I found some that worked and was able to torque them properly."

"I found the fit and build quality to be excellent—it mounted easily and held my red dot sight securely. Installation was a breeze and the product felt sturdy throughout."

"The product gripped my Hatsan Mod 25’s 11mm dovetail rails very firmly and held my Picatinny optic with no issues. The three Torx screws offered solid retention, though I do wish the screws were a bit larger or made from tougher steel, just in case I need to use threadlocker."

"This mount was a perfect fit for my Savage 62 rifle. It attached tightly to the dovetail and felt very sturdy, holding my thermal scope with zero movement."

"I've used Vortex mounts for years and love the adjustability and rock-solid stability they offer for my optics. The price is hard to beat, and I actually have these mounts on eight different platforms. Definitely a great investment for any setup."

"Mounting my Vortex scope was a breeze—everything lined up perfectly out of the box. The machining is flawless and the mount feels high-end right away. Once installed, it locked down tight and my zero has never shifted, even after heavy range sessions. If you want something dependable and well-made that looks sharp, this is the mount to get."

"This mount is truly rock-solid with perfect alignment every time. Quick, simple install, and the fit is tight with zero movement under recoil. The cantilever design provides just the right amount of forward offset for ideal eye relief, especially on my AR. Finish and machining are top-notch, and after plenty of use, my zero is still dead-on."

"I got this at my husband's request and was pleased that it fit exactly the model he needed. He was happy with the purchase and installation was straightforward."

"I wanted to add a scope to my small .22 rifle, and this adapter worked perfectly to bridge the gap on the rail. It's a solid fit and made scope mounting easy."

"This rail was exactly what I needed for my Rossi 22 Mag. It converted the dovetail mount to a weaver, letting me attach a red dot or scope. Easy to install and holds firm once tightened. The price was great for a two-pack, though I wish the packaging was a bit better to protect the finish."

"I found the installation process really simple, and it fit my Ruger 10/22 perfectly. My red dot attached with no trouble, and the scope held zero even after some bumps. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable rail."

"The price on this is fantastic, and I really like that it's a true rail. The placement works way better for my Romeo5 red dot. Overall, it's a great upgrade for my rifle."

"While the quality and machining are solid, the screws that came with it were too large for my Ruger 10/22 takedown's factory-tapped holes. It's a decent budget option if you can find the right screws."

"I put this rail on my Henry 45-70 and was a bit skeptical about Monstrum, but so far it’s been a perfect fit and holds up to heavy recoil—even with some pretty spicy Underwood +P rounds. My Vortex Crossfire II scope (not a lightweight) stays zeroed. I’d recommend a torque wrench for proper installation. If you’re mounting an LPVO, you might want to consider the extended Henry EGW rail, as this one is a bit short."

"This picatinny rail fit my gun exactly right and seems well-made. I really appreciate the reasonable cost, especially for budget builds—I can’t justify spending $100 on a rail for a cheaper firearm."

"I installed it on my Rossi 360 Buckhammer and it was a spot-on fit. Construction feels sturdy, and mounting and adjusting my scope was simple. There’s plenty of room for setting up eye relief just how I need it."
