ZF mounts - the most important connection between weapon and optics
Today, gun buyers have a wide range of scope mounts from various manufacturers at their disposal. High-quality mounts are now technically mature and enable an optimum combination of rifle and target optics.
Perhaps often underestimated: Since high-quality mounts are äußerst präzise und aufwändige Bauteile with tolerances of a hundredth of a mm, the price is correspondingly high.
Many hunting schools therefore emphasise the importance of optics when it comes to weapons. Der Spruch: „Spart niemals bei der Optik und schon gar nicht bei der Montage“ has its justification.
The mount as the link between the scope and the firearm ultimately determines whether the hunting firearm as a whole leads to the complete satisfaction of the hunter or shooter - or not.
Self-assembly of the riflescope:
It There are more and more gun buyers who want to mount their optics themselves. Standardised drilling patterns with screw connections on the weapons make this possible today.
A large Advantage is certain that the owner familiarises himself with the weapon during self-assembly and gains experience with balistics by shooting at the shooting range. of different types of ammunition. Perhaps this will also make it possible to handle the weapon more safely.
Important: It is always particularly important to read the installation instructions of the respective installation manufacturer carefully before installation. In it you will find detailed information on the right tools and also some tips and tricks for professional installation.
After that, nothing should stand in the way of success.
