Magne-Tech debuts the Magnetic Scope Mount, a magnet-based optic mount that snaps on instantly without bolts, cams, or re-zeroing hassles. Simple geometry, a lever, and neodymium magnets hold the mount in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Different Take on Scope Mounts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Magne-Tech<\/a> is taking a swing at one of shooting\u2019s most familiar accessories. Instead of relying on traditional QD levers or torque settings, the company uses magnetism to secure optics to a Picatinny rail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is a scope mount that attaches almost instantly. They also use this same idea for smaller picatinny-mounted accessories such as bipods, flashlights, and laser designators, but I’ll save that for another article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magne-Tech’s Magnetic Scope Mount is exactly what it sounds like it is. This consists of a base that bolts to the Picatinny rail, and a scope ring mount that magnetically attaches to that base.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Magnetic Scope Mount targets shooters who swap optics<\/a> often. It also appeals to anyone who runs night vision<\/a>, thermal, or multiple scopes on one rifle. Magne-Tech designed the system to remove common mounting variables such as bolt preload, friction, temperature changes, or uneven torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company, the mount returns to zero within 1\/4 MOA. Magne-Tech tested this by repeatedly removing and reinstalling the mount while tracking the point of aim with a laser. The company also relied on long-term user feedback from shooters who ran the mount in live fire, proving it in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials and Construction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Magne-Tech<\/a> builds the mount from 7075-T6 aluminum. That choice matters. Many scope mounts use 6061 aluminum to cut costs. Magne-Tech chose a harder alloy to reduce wear between mating surfaces while keeping weight down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full mount weighs 11.9 ounces. The base weighs 5.4 ounces. The ring section adds another 6.5 ounces. The mount measures 6.5 inches from front to back and has a ring height of 1.5 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magnetic Scope Mount uses three neodymium magnets. Each magnet provides about 15 pounds of clamping force. Together, they generate roughly 45 pounds of hold against the rail. This isn’t the only thing that holds the optic mount in place, though. The Magnetic Scope Mount also has a lever<\/a> with a thumbscrew that is meant to lock the lever out from accidental activation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
