Introduction

MAK is a German company, specialized in mounting solutions for optics. Their offer also includes riflescopes and red dot sights. MAK's products, made with topmost precision, are known for their high quality. To appease every need when it comes to mounting solutions, MAK has many series of mounts in their offer.

Sauer & Sohn, frequently referred to as Sauer, is Germany's oldest firearms manufacturer and the second oldest in the world, founded in 1751. Even though they have been around for nearly three hundred years, they remain innovative. One of their most known firearms is Sauer 38H, an advanced semiautomatic pistol that was produced in great numbers – it featured a cocking/decocking lever.

About the rifle

Sauer 303 is a semi-automatic rifle with a unique mounting system called Sauer ISI rail – the buyer has to keep in mind to get mounts made specifically for Sauer 303. ISI rail allows simple detachment and reattachment and is 100 % repeatable. This same unique rail can also be found on some Sauer 202 models. The medium version is chambered for .308 Win., 7x64, .30-06 Spring., 8x57 IS, 9.3x62, while the magnum version is available in .300 Win. Mag., .338 Win. Mag. (requires the use of muzzle brake). There are six locking lugs on the bolt.

MAKuick one-piece

MAKuick mounts are robust and reliable. They offer a 100 % repeatability, meaning that the user can remove them and put them back onto the rifle without the need to re-zero. MAKuick mounts are designed so that they can withstand the recoil of even the most powerful calibers out there. They are lightweight because both the base and the rings are made from aluminum. The whole system that is in contact with the rifle (the clamping assembly) is made from steel. MAKuick is a versatile series of mounts – it allows mounting of all sorts of rings, all sorts of mounting rails (LM, ZM/VM, SR, Convex), different adapters that allow mounting of other devices such as ATN X-Sight; Pulsar Digisight, Apex, Trail; Fortuna devices etc. MAKuick mounts made for the mounting of riflescopes with a rail underneath are made of one part. Because of this, they are more robust, durable and reliable. For digital and thermal optical devices, the buyer has to pick a MAKuick base with four holes on which rings are usually put. Instead of the rings, the user mounts an adapter on top that works as a connector between the thermal optics and the MAKuick base. MAK makes one-piece MAKuick bases for the following rifles: CZ 527, CZ 550, Merkel KR 1, Merkel RX Helix – also fits on all Picatinny rails, Sauer 303, Sako 75, Sako 85 S, Sako 85 M, Tikka T3 and Blaser rifles. They also make a MAKuick base for break barrel rifles with a 12 mm dovetail and for break barrel rifles with a 14.5 mm dovetail (usually found on Czech break barrel rifles).

MAKuick one-piece rail mounts

In the MAKuick series, mounts for the following types of rails are currently produced: LM, ZM/VM, SR, and Convex. The BH height of the base is 12 mm. Mounting a riflescope with a rail underneath on the rifle is more simple than mounting with rings – the riflescope is automatically horizontally aligned with the rifle's barrel when mounted, no extra adjustments are necessary. The mount is made out of one part.  

Mounting instructions

First, the user has to make sure that the rifle is fixed (it is advised that the rifle is put into a rifle holder). Once the mount is put onto the mounting surface and fixed by rotating the levers for 180°, the lock screws have to be unscrewed. The user then adjusts the clamping force of the adjustment screws with a hex key so that they are tightened but not too tightened. The lock screws have to be re-tightened to complete the mounting procedure. The recommended tightening torque is 4–5 Nm.

Warranty

The product has a warranty period of 10 years.
