Disclaimer: Proper Use of Scope Mounts on Recoiling Guns

Before using scope mounts on recoiling guns, such as spring/gas ram air rifles, rim/centerfire guns, and blowback airguns, please read and understand the following disclaimer:

Creep Risk: The use of dovetail mounts on recoiling guns may result in creep due to the absence of anti-recoil locking pins. Creep is the gradual movement of the mounts along the gun's rail during recoil.

Recommendation: It is strongly recommended to use recoil arrester blocks or recoil stoppers to mitigate the risk of mount creep. The Vector Optics Riflescope Recoil Stopper (SCOT-15) is one such product that can help stabilize your scope mounts.

Alternative Solution: An alternative solution to prevent mount creep is to convert your dovetail rails to Picatinny rails. Picatinny rails offer a more secure attachment and eliminate the need for recoil pins and arrester blocks.

Adapter Rails: You can find dovetail-to-Picatinny rail conversion adapters, such as the Eagle Vision Dovetail to Picatinny RIS Conversion Rails. These adapters provide a stable platform for your scope mounts, reducing the risk of movement during recoil.

User Responsibility: It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the chosen mounting solution is appropriate for the specific firearm and shooting application. Improper use may lead to damage to equipment, decreased accuracy, or potential safety hazards.

Consultation: If you have any doubts or concerns regarding the compatibility of your chosen scope mounts with your firearm, consult with a qualified gunsmith or a knowledgeable professional in the field.

Disclaimer Acceptance: By using dovetail mounts on recoiling guns, the user acknowledges the potential risks and accepts full responsibility for the choice of mounting solution and any consequences that may arise from its use.

Remember, safety should always be a top priority when using firearms and related accessories.
