Element XT 30mm High Picatinny Rifle Scope Ring Mount
If you need maximum clearance for a 30mm scope on a Picatinny setup, the Element Optics XT 30mm High Picatinny Rifle Scope Ring Mount is the one you reach for when medium just won’t cut it. It’s CNC-machined from 6061 aluminium, so you still get a lightweight but rigid mount that holds up properly under recoil without feeling overbuilt or bulky. The high profile gives you extra space for larger objective lenses or rifles where barrel and accessory clearance is tight, making it a practical choice for more demanding setups. Even with the added height, it stays solid and consistent once torqued correctly, keeping your zero reliable shot after shot. It’s a straightforward, functional mount that focuses on fitment and stability rather than unnecessary extras.
