Securely mounted optics are crucial for the accuracy and precision of any rifle. To provide the X-Bolt and X-Bolt 2 with the most stable mount possible, we have developed the all-new X-Lock scope mounting system. This innovative design utilizes 4-screws per base, replacing the traditional 2-screws system. By securing the scope bases at all four corners instead of just at the center, the X-Lock system allows for more precise placement of the bases on the receiver. This revolutionary approach ensures that the bases are held tighter to the rifle than ever before, enhancing stability and reliability. With the X-Lock system, shooters can have confidence that their optics are securely mounted, delivering optimal performance in any shooting scenario.
