Hunting mounts

The Spuhr Hunting Series of products originally came to mind as an implementation of our patented diagonally cut rings from the Ideal Scope Mount System™ (ISMS™) but applied to traditional hunting rings and mounts. The ISMS™ provides a way to mount the optics to a rifle in such a way that the rings do not obscure the turrets of the scope. With traditional mounting solutions the user has a choice between obscuring either the elevation or the windage adjustments (and in some cases both!)

The first trick was to cut the rings diagonally rather than horizontal or vertical, thus putting the “fat” part of the rings offset from the scope turrets – a solution we ended up patenting in US patent 8,733,011 and European patent EP2478324. The Hunting Series combine this feature with the sleek looks of a more traditional hunting ring.

We machine the mounts and rings from 7075 T651 billet aluminum, as this material is lightweight and extremely strong, even outperforming construction steel in several aspects. Our fasteners are 12.9 Grade steel with zinc-nickel corrosion resistance, and they come pre-waxed to ensure proper torque values.

We currently offer the hunting series in two main families:

PICATINNY 

The SCP series of Hunting Mounts is designed for use on 1-piece Picatinny scope bases and is available in several heights for 30 mm and 34 mm tube diameters.
The SCP series features two separate side clamps secured with M4x10 Torx 20 screws, and thanks to it’s design the SCP series can be rotated for left-handed use.

SAKO TRG / TIKKA T3/T3x 

The SCT series of Hunting Mounts is designed for use on SAKO TRG and Tikka T3x dovetails and is available in several heights for 30, 34, and 36 mm tube diameters.
The SCT series features a single side clamps secured with three M5x16 Torx 20 screws.

VERSIONS

The Hunting Series of mounts can be purchased in three versions: the standard Hunting version, which has one Spuhr Interface™ top ring and one Classic top ring; the Aesthetic version with two Classic top rings and no Spuhr Interfaces™; and the Interface version, which features Spuhr Interfaces™ on both top rings.

The Spuhr Interface™ provides a way to attach accessories to the scope mount/ring – with a high degree of repeatability – without having to replace parts of the mount or having to re-zero the scope in between changes.
