Often overlooked, but selecting the correct scope mount is vitally important
MOUNTING CHOICES

Scope mounts – not a particularly exciting subject on the face of it, but without them it would be impossible to shoot the vast majority of guns available today. I have used the car analogy before, but in this case I think it bears repeating; the only thing between your car and the road are your tyres, and top performance cars have top-performing tyres, otherwise you are not going to exploit the full benefits of your expensive new car. That nice new expensive airgun and its lovely new scope are married by your scope mounts, and if you decide to economise on the mounts, there is more than a passing chance that you will become infuriated by mediocre performance, which is probably the best-case scenario. Worst-case scenario will see you trading in your gun with frustration, and taking up something boring, like golf.

There are many reasons why cheap mounts will cause disappointment, and I intend to explore some of these along the way, but first let’s look at a British scope mount manufacturer whose products will always promise top-line performance, and actually cost rather less than you might think.

SERMON ON THE MOUNT

Sportsmatch Ltd have been making top-quality mounts since 1972. During that time, their products have been used by thousands of shooters around the globe, ranging form back garden plinkers to law enforcement personnel, and just about every shooting person in between. Like all success stories, the tale behind this company started by someone spotting a need and then rising to the challenge, and in this case, that someone was John Ford.
