Securely mounted optics are essential for achieving the accuracy and precision that every rifle demands. To provide the X-Bolt and X-Bolt 2 with the most stable mounting solution possible, we have introduced the innovative X-Lock scope mounting system. This advanced system employs 4-screws per base, replacing the traditional 2-screws configuration. By securing the scope bases at all four corners rather than just at the center, the X-Lock system allows for more accurate placement on the receiver. This revolutionary design ensures that the bases are held tighter to the rifle than ever before, enhancing stability and reliability. With the X-Lock system, shooters can trust that their optics are firmly mounted, enabling optimal performance in any shooting situation.
