The Sportsmatch OP15C is a British-made, precision-engineered one-piece scope mount designed specifically for one-inch (25.4 mm) tube rifle scopes. Machined from high-grade aircraft alloy, this medium-height mount features a built-in 0.75 mm vertical taper, which provides approximately 20 MOA of upward angle compensation. This physical angle resolves common elevation travel limitations and barrel droop issues, allowing shooters to easily zero their optics at longer distances. With its 120 mm overall length, it offers a secure, highly rigid clamping surface that fits standard 9.5 mm to 11.5 mm (3/8 inch) dovetail receiver rails.

Key Features:

• Built-In Elevation: Features a 0.75 mm built-in vertical taper (20 MOA angle) to compensate for barrel droop or limited scope elevation adjustments.
• One-Piece Rigidity: The 120 mm continuous base maximizes clamping contact with the receiver, preventing scope movement and misalignment under recoil.
• Single-Screw Ring Caps: Equipped with secure single-screw clamping on each side of the rings for a streamlined profile and reduced weight.
• Removable Arrestor Pin: Includes an easy-fit recoil stop pin that anchors the mount into the receiver scope stop holes, preventing scope creep.
• Objective Lens Compatibility: Designed to accommodate rifle scopes with up to a 45 mm objective lens diameter (without an adjustable objective).

Who It Is For:

The Sportsmatch OP15C is designed for Australian target shooters, small-game hunters, and pest control operators who utilize rimfire rifles or high-powered spring-piston air rifles. This mount is an ideal solution for Australian shooters targeting rabbits, hares, and foxes who require additional vertical elevation adjustment when shooting at extended distances. The 11mm dovetail clamping system is directly compatible with popular rimfire and airgun actions widely used across Australia, including CZ, Anschutz, and older Tikka or Sako models. Its robust construction and integrated recoil arrestor pin make it highly suitable for high-recoil spring-piston airguns that typically shift or damage standard two-piece mounting setups.
