Swarovski SR rail Mounts

VIDEO

It is very similar to other rail mounting solutions developed by other manufacturers. The most notable are the Zeiss ZM/VM rail and the S&B Convex rail. The main difference is that the Swarovski SR rail has small teeth on the lower side, and they work as recoil stoppers. The Swarovski SR rail is a great solution for all those who need the advantages it provides: when mounting a riflescope to a rifle with the SR rail there is no need for additional tools, mounting is done swiftly, securely and easily.

When mounting with rail is compared to the standard mounting with rings it is easy to see all the advantages it provides. Rings can leave marks on the main tube, but not only superficial marks, the structural integrity of the rifle scope can be compromised thus leaving the user with a corrupted image and tracking problems. The scopes that are mounted with the use of rail are less subjected to recoil shocks and can withstand endless shots of almost any caliber. If mounted with rings they have to be realigned after a while. When mounting with a rail you always get a perfect horizontal level as the reticle is aligned with the rail.

Mounting with a scope rail solutions is always the preferred way over the mounting with rings and in the future most of the European premium rifle scopes producers will exclusively use this approach. We are waiting on the first scope that will be produced with mounting rail only (apart from Zeiss Diarange which contains laser and cannot be mounted with rings at all).

Riflescope manufacturers that use the Swarovski SR rail are Swarovski and Kahles. Swarovski SR rail producers: EAW, Recknagel, MAK, Henneberger, Rusan, INNOmount, Blaser and Ziegler.

A Merkel Suhl Tilt-up mount is a mounting system found on Merkel repeating rifles KR1 and on their break barrel rifles like the single shot K3/K4 and at combination rifles B3/B4. This mounting solution offers great flexibility since the same mounts are used on such different types of rifles and on the other hand, it offers 100% repeatability. Other advantages are:

  • lightweight, small and elegant mounts,
  • low height of mounting, including for the scopes with rails,
  • very easy and straight forward handling of the mount.

 

This mounting system has 4 mounting grows directly on the barrel and a cross section for the recoil stopper at the top of the barrel. Mounting of riflescopes directly on the barrel offers an advantage that it is possible to change the barrel and the scope together. Merkel KR1 is a prime example where a user can have multiple barrels with multiple scopes for one rifle only. Additionally since Merkel Suhl Tilt-Up mounts offer 100% repeatability, the user can have multiple scopes on each of the barrels. This type of mounts offer true versatility.

 

Even though Merkel Tilt-up mounting system has 4 groves and one recoil slot, most of the mounts for red dot sights clamp only to two groves and not all four. Nevertheless these mounts also fit on all rifles with this mounting system and also provide 100% repeatability.

 

Merkel Suhl Tilt-Up mount is used on the following rifles:

  • Merkel KR1,
  • Merkel B3/B4,
  • Merkel K3/K4.
