torch mount on scope

eoin.d

Anyone recommend a mount i could put on a 30mm scope that would have a short picatinny rail on top so i could put a light on top of the scope.
Thanks

You will find plenty available on eBay.

Lots on Ali express, but takes about 3 weeks to arrive.

I was hoping of staying away from ebay and the likes for fear of buying some cheap Chinese crap that might damage my scope. Do any known brands do these?

See if they tickle your fancy.

Led Lenser do one, both as part of a kit and separately. Only possible issue is the thickness of the torch. They are like a back to back number 3 where one side clamps on the scope and the other on the torch. I know McCarthys in Prosperous have them - https://www.huntingandfishing.ie/product/led-lenser-gun-mount-ll5362/

Those ones are not great if the torch is any way big, dosent matter how hard you tighten them the torch feels floppy and can move from side to side, clamp is the only way to go. (clamp with picatinny rail on top and a normal clamp in top of that)

Stay away from figure 8 clamps like the lenser, they’re beyond hopeless.

Nightmaster do various size ring clamps, but pricey tho.

Best option by far if you have Hawke or Sportsmatch mounts is the picatinny ring caps

eBay is your best bet, set your filter to Irish and UK sellers. I have a few 30mm ring clamps spare if they suit your need.

Ya i tryed figure of 8 clamp before but never seem to be able get both sides tight enough. Im using warne mounts so cant use the hawke ones. Although i have these on another rifle and they work great. I think i will try the opticfire ones and see how they go.
Thanks for all the replies lads

I bought the chinese mounts , worked out about 8 euro , I would not say it is crap, and doubit will damage the scope.

Got this to mount on the scope.

The 25-30 mm rail top mount as described in that link is what I have used successfully for some time without any damage to my scopes.
Available considerably cheaper elsewhere on the Bay.

Anyway most if not all of this stuff is now made in China. Same mount is available on eGun.de for €25 if it makes you feel better to pay more.
