The Daniel Defense 30mm optic mount is a precision-engineered scope mount built for shooters who demand reliability without unnecessary weight. Whether you're running a variable power scope on a tactical rifle, hunting setup, or competition gun, this 30mm mount delivers the secure hold and ease of use that defines the Daniel Defense reputation. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with Type III hard coat anodizing, it's designed to handle serious use while keeping your system lightweight—tipping the scales at just 5.5 ounces.

Installation and removal matter when you're working in the field or on the bench. Daniel Defense engineered their patented Rock & Lock mounting technology to make both fast and reliable, with Torx Plus fasteners at the base for consistent, repeatable torque specs. The system keeps your scope exactly where you set it, through recoil and handling, without the fuss of complicated setup procedures.

Made in the USA, this mount reflects the same machining precision and material quality you'll find across the Daniel Defense line.
