Contessa QR Mount for Drop Barrel Rifles, Simple Black, 30 mm

1. Precision Engineering for Drop Barrel Rifles: This mount is meticulously engineered for tilting or break-open rifles, also known as drop barrel rifles. Featuring a sophisticated dovetail design, it ensures secure and repeatable scope installation on specific European firearms like the Brno ZH 304 (with its 14.5 mm dovetail) and CZ 589. Its non-interchangeable 12 mm or 14.5 mm standard and an integrated recoil notch guarantee perfect forward locking, crucial for maintaining accuracy.

2. Unrivalled Repeatability: A critical feature for hunters and sport shooters, this Contessa QR mount provides 100% repeatability. This means that after removal and re-installation, your scope will consistently return to its exact zero, eliminating the need for re-zeroing. This superior performance is achieved through tight manufacturing tolerances and precise engagement with the recoil notch, perfect for situations requiring optic swaps or rifle cleaning.

3. Robust Steel Construction: Crafted from premium-grade steel, this mount offers exceptional strength and enduring reliability. Steel's inherent rigidity helps to manage the moderate recoil often associated with rimfire or shotgun loads in combination rifles, ensuring unwavering stability for your optic. This robust material choice reflects Contessa's commitment to building durable products for demanding hunting environments.

4. Quick-Release Functionality: The integrated Quick-Release (QR) mechanism allows for swift, tool-free detachment and reattachment of your scope. This functionality is invaluable for hunters who frequently transport their rifles, need to quickly switch between optics for different hunting scenarios, or perform rifle maintenance. Despite its quick release, the mount maintains its absolute zero retention, providing both convenience and precision.
