The Talley Lightweight 2-Piece Scope Mount with Integral 30mm Rings is a purpose-built optic mounting system for the Knight MK 85 muzzleloader, engineered to deliver rock-solid hold without the weight penalty of traditional steel rings and bases. Built from 7000-series aluminum alloy and CNC machined to precision tolerances, this mount combines the rigidity you need for accurate shot placement with the lightweight design that matters on long days in the field or stand.

What sets Talley's approach apart is the integral ring-and-base design: instead of bolting separate rings atop a separate base—a setup that introduces potential misalignment and connection points—Talley machines the 30mm rings directly into the mount as a unified structure. That means no joint between scope and rifle, no loose interfaces to work themselves open, and no compromise between strength and weight. You get the durability of a monolithic build with the mass efficiency of high-grade alloy.

The high-ring height positions your optic at the proper sight plane for the MK 85's action and profile, and the black anodized finish resists corrosion and reflection. Whether you're dialing in a muzzleloader for deer season or setting up a dedicated hunting rifle, a solid scope mount is non-negotiable—and Talley's construction speaks for itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mount fit my Knight MK 85?

Yes—this mount is specifically designed for the Knight MK 85 muzzleloader. The high-ring height is matched to that action's geometry and sight plane.

What makes this better than a traditional ring-and-base setup?

Talley's integral design machines the rings and base as one solid piece, eliminating the joint between them. This removes potential misalignment and loose connections that can develop in two-piece systems, delivering superior rigidity and repeatability without adding weight.

Is this mount strong enough for hunting and range use?

Yes. The 7000-series aluminum alloy and CNC precision machining are engineered to handle the recoil and demands of both hunting and shooting sports. The monolithic construction provides strength comparable to steel rings while keeping overall weight significantly lower.

What does black anodized finish do?

Anodizing creates a protective oxide layer that resists rust and corrosion, essential for hunting gear exposed to moisture and field conditions. The black color also eliminates glint that could spook game.
