The Sportsmatch HET038 (internationally designated by the manufacturer as HETO38C) is a premium, British-made two-piece extended scope mount designed for 30mm tube optics. Precision-engineered from high-grade aircraft-grade aluminium, this high-profile mounting system is built to clamp securely onto standard 3/8" (9.5mm to 11.5mm / 9-11mm) dovetail rails. Featuring a unique extended front clamp, this mount set addresses the common challenge of limited mounting space on compact receivers, allowing shooters to shift their optic forward to achieve correct eye relief without compromising structural integrity.

Key Features:

• Extended Reach-Forward Design: The prolonged 46mm front mount provides a 25mm (1 inch) bi-directional extension, allowing the scope to be positioned further forward or backward to achieve optimal eye relief on short-action receivers.
• High Recoil Resistance: Equipped with heavy-duty double screws on each ring, this mount ensures secure zero-retention under the heavy bi-directional recoil of spring-piston airguns and high-frequency rimfire vibrations.
• Integrated Recoil Arrestor Pin: Includes a removable easy-fit arrestor pin that locks into the receiver rail, completely preventing any longitudinal mount slippage during repeated firing.
• Large Objective Lens Clearance: The high-profile design provides 21mm of clearance from the base to the bottom of the ring, making it compatible with scope models featuring up to a 56mm objective lens diameter on most rifle configurations.
• High-Tensile Construction: Manufactured in Great Britain from precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminium, offering extreme durability at a lightweight of just 121 grams.

Who It's For:

The Sportsmatch HET038 is highly suited for Australian target shooters and field hunters utilizing popular rimfire platforms—such as CZ, Anschutz, and Marlin rifles—as well as high-powered PCP and spring-piston air rifles. It is the ideal mounting solution for shooters using compact action receivers, bullpup designs, or rifles with short mounting rails who need to mount a large 30mm tube scope while maintaining perfect head alignment and consistent eye relief in the field.
