Quality you can trust
The most important link in the chain
You can buy a rifle for twenty thousand and a scope for double that, but it all means nothing if the connection between them shifts. The mount is the absolute most important element for your precision. If the rail moves even a tenth of a millimeter during recoil, your point of impact will shift significantly at a hundred meters.
Many of us switch between different aiming devices on the same weapon — a day scope for hunting, a red dot or night optics for other situations. Some of us use the same aiming device on multiple weapons. This requires a rail or base and a mount that holds zero, every time you take it off and put it back on — and that places high demands on both materials and production methods.
Military standard
Not all Picatinny rails are created equal. The standard has evolved since the original MIL-STD-1913 from 1995, and not all manufacturers keep up. Ours do. Everything in our range complies with the latest NATO STANAG 4694 standard from 2009 — the same one used by militaries in large parts of the world. That standard exists because you need to be able to change optics quickly, under pressure, and hit accurately afterwards. It doesn't get more thoroughly tested than that.

Only what we ourselves would use
Our philosophy is simple: We only sell products we would mount on our own rifles. Therefore, you won't find any unknown budget solutions here. Everything has been thoroughly tested by people who shoot themselves, and selected because it works in practice — not because it's the cheapest.
Consequently, we are not the cheapest on the market. But in the overall calculation with a rifle and scope, the extra cost for a proper mount is negligible. On the other hand, it is often the mount that determines whether you hit or miss.

Steel or aluminum — you decide
There is a lot of debate about whether a rail should be made of steel or aluminum. The truth is that both materials work excellently, as long as the quality is top-notch. We have both in stock in the best quality. Aluminum saves you a few grams, while steel provides ultimate raw strength. It's your choice — we stand behind both.
Produced by specialists in Europe
We have personally visited our suppliers. These are small specialized workshops in Europe that do nothing but precision parts for firearms. These people live and breathe what they do, and have been doing it for decades. No detours via the Far East, no unknown subcontractors.

Do it yourself — and get to know your weapon
Many people believe that you have to take your rifle to a gunsmith to have a rail mounted. You don't have to. You can easily do it yourself, and you can easily save 500–1,500 kroner.
But the most important thing is not the money you save. It's that you get to know your own equipment. When you have mounted your rail yourself, you know exactly what is where, how tight it needs to be, and what to check the day something isn't right in the woods or at the range.
