Scope mounts are a common accessory for rifles and shotguns. They allow you to attach your weapon's scope to the barrel of your rifle or shotgun, making it easier and faster to see what is in front of you. Scope mounts come in a variety of different sizes and styles, so it is important to find one that will fit your firearm. Some popular scopes that can be attached using scope mounts include Rifle sights with turrets (such as Vortex VX-5) or Weaver sights (such as the Bushnell BG4). Shotguns typically lack barrels that have Picatinny rails, so scope mounts designed for Shotguns may not work with rifles equipped with similar rails. Scope mount types include vertical and Horizontal gunmounts. Vertical scopes generally use a quick-release mounting system (QR Mount), while horizontal scopes use an allen wrench type mount. The most common type of rifle scope mount is the QD Mount, which allows you to attach a wide variety of optics including rifle sights, handguns, binoculars, and monoculars without having to remove the entire firearm from storage or transport. Many shooters prefer this type of mount because it makes attaching and removing accessories much simpler than using traditional methods such as screws and clamps.

Made to fit a variety of rifles, shotguns, and pistols, they provide shooters with a way to see what their weapon looks like from any angle. With so many different types and styles available, it can be difficult to determine which mount will work best for your rifle or pistol. This is where scope mounts come in. Scope mounts have been around since the early 1800s, when Europeans began using them on firearms in order to better see the target at long range.

As technology improved, manufacturers began producing more sophisticated mounts that could accommodate a variety of rifles and handguns. Today there are several types of scope mount available: Weaver (which is used on many mid-sized rifles), Picatinny (used on larger rifles and shotguns), Omega (which is used on handguns), MIL-STD 1913(R) standard (used in most cases on bolt-action rifles), and NATO (used on precision sniper rifles). What sets scope mounts apart from other firearm furniture is their ability to accommodating a wide variety of rifle calibers. For example, Weavermounts allow you to use either 6mm or 12mm barrels while Picatinnymounts support both 5x42mm optics and 4x32mm optics without having any alterations needed outside the mount itself. As each manufacturer produces their own specific mounting style, it can be hard to determine which type of mount will work best for your individual rifle or pistol.

A round crossbar hinge connected these two parts, allowing the mount to be turned 360 degrees in order to adjust magnification.
