Sportsmatch AOP55 1 Piece Double Screw 1" High Adjustable Dovetail Scope Mount

The Sportsmatch AOP55 is a precision-engineered, high-tensile aircraft-grade aluminium scope mount manufactured in the United Kingdom. Designed to perform under demanding field conditions, this one-piece mount provides a robust, continuous connection between your optic and rifle. Its primary technical advantage is its independent physical adjustment for both windage and elevation. This allows shooters to physically center the mount before using the scope's internal turrets, preserving the optic's full range of internal adjustment and keeping the reticle optically centered. Built to withstand heavy bi-directional recoil, this mount ensures reliable zero retention under rugged conditions.

Key Features of the Sportsmatch AOP55

• Integrated Windage and Elevation Adjustment: Provides up to 2 mm of physical adjustment from one end of the mount to the other, which equates to approximately 65 MOA of vertical adjustment for correcting alignment issues or barrel droop.
• Double Screw Ring Caps: Equipped with a secure double-screw ring configuration to provide a firm, even grip on 1-inch scope tubes.
• Anti-Vibration Coating: The locking screws are treated with a specialized anti-vibration coating to prevent threading from loosening over time due to recoil or transport vibration.
• Steel Recoil Arrestor Pin: Includes a built-in, reversible and removable steel stop-pin designed to prevent "scope creep" along the receiver dovetails under heavy spring-piston recoil.
• High-Tensile Aluminium Construction: Precision machined from aircraft-grade aluminium to deliver high structural strength without adding excessive weight to the rifle setup.

Who the Sportsmatch AOP55 Is For

The Sportsmatch AOP55 is designed for shooters who experience extreme barrel droop or receiver alignment issues that standard fixed mounts cannot correct. It is highly suited for high-power spring-piston air rifles, pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) airguns, and rimfire rifles chambered in .22 LR or .17 HMR. For the Australian sport shooting and agricultural pest control sectors, this mount is a reliable choice for eradication tasks targeting rabbits, foxes, and feral cats. Its durable British construction ensures that zero is maintained even when exposed to the extreme temperatures and rough handling typical of the Australian outback.
