General features of 34mm scope rings

The 34mm main tube is somewhat a new standard meant for tactical rifle scopes. It is adopted by a lot of rifle scope manufacturers as it provides more space for elevation compared to the 30mm tube. In order to mount the 34mm rifle scope, you need the 34mm scope rings to fit this diameter.

The most important thing when mounting a rifle scope with 34mm scope rings is to be aware of the pressure needed to fasten the scope rings. Go over the limit and the structural integrity of the rifle scope will be compromised. Scope rings can also leave a visible mark if not tightened accordingly. The amount of torque should not exceed 2.2 Nm.

Physical properties of 34mm - scope mounts

34mm scope rings are usually at least 20mm wide, while with tactical scope rings mount the width can be as much as 32mm mounting scope rings.

A lot of different manufacturers are putting their 34mm scope rings mounts on the market.

Is lapping of the scope mount rings really needed?

Lapping is a process that is essentially lining two 34mm scope rings perfectly to one-a-another. It is done with special cylinders that grind off the excess metal.

When the ring is constructed from two near half circles - so if the circle of the ring is split in half, roughly in the ratio 50:50 and such mounting scope rings are mounted on two separate mounting bases, then lapping is recommended. If lapping is not performed, the very small offsetting can be present when all the different pieces of the mount come together and when both scope rings are mounted on two separated bases. If the mounting of two high-quality scope rings is done on a single-piece base, then lapping is not needed. This is one of the reasons that Picatinny rails style are becoming so popular in recent years.

In the worst-case scenario, the axis that runs through the center of the rear ring does not completely match the axis that runs through the center of the front ring. For this reason, the scope, if mounted into such scope rings is under unwanted structural stress. The most obvious problems that occur due to this reason are less than perfect optical performance, tracking problems, the side focus mechanism can stop working and the point of impact groups can be dispersed.

If the ring is designed in the fashion of 1/3 base of the ring and 2/3 of the top of the ring then lapping is not required as the design is plastic enough to bend slightly and adjust its shape to the scope tube. The same applies to ½ - 1/2 scope rings mounted on the single-piece base.

It may be a good idea to take into consideration to choose the 1/3: 2/3 scope rings as they do not require additional lapping to be fitted properly. Or use a single-piece mounting base.

Monoblock mounts categories

Lapping is also not required with monoblock mounts and all mounts are made from one piece of material and alignment of both 34mm scope rings is usually perfect. It is also not required with high-quality European mounts since their tolerances are minimal.

Repeatable mounts take all advantages of detachable mounts to a new level. All the advantages of detachable mounts, which are:

Detachable mounts offer possibility to use multiple scopes on one rifle,
enable easy transportation of the scope and the rifle separately,
in an emergency if the scope fails you can immediately detach it and use iron sights are upgraded with,
100% repeatability, which means that you zero all your scopes only once and then you can use them on one rifle in any combination you prefer and as many times as you wish.

Such mounts are ideal for hunting rifles, where you can use the same rifles with different optics on many different types of hunts. The perfect combination of different optics on one rifle can be described in this fashion:

Red dot sight or wide angle riflescope for driven hunts,
1.5-6x42 or similar for stalking,
3-12x56 for low light hunting.

You can add as many different optics to this setup as you wish, since this is the main concept of repeatable mounts. Easy transportation of optics and rifle separately is only an additional bonus.

There are however many different types of repeatable mounts, of which the most common are:

Pivot mounts,
Weaver/Picatinny repeatable mounts,
Repeatable mounts on brand specific mounting solutions: Blaser Saddle mount, Merkel Suhl Tilt-Up mounts, Sauer 404, Sauer 303 , CZ 550, Mauser M03, Steyr original pivot mount, Merkel original pivot mount,

Dentler basis mounts,
Contessa 12 mm mounts.

There are also many other similar repeating mounts.
