Dentler Riflescope Mounts
With Dentler mounts, you can quickly switch between different optics and then remount them on your hunting rifle with repeatable accuracy, without having to re-zero. The modular mounting system consists of a firearm-specific base rail and a mounting rail for the respective optic. This allows you to use a riflescope, driven-hunt scope, red dot sight or clip-on device for night hunting flexibly on the same rifle.
The Dentler mounting system provides a play-free and stable connection between the firearm and optic. Depending on the optic, mounting rails are available for ring mounts, internal rails and various direct mounts.
Dentler mounts are among the most proven modular mounting systems for hunting and shooting sports, offering maximum flexibility and complete recoil resistance.
How Does the Dentler Mounting System Work?
The Dentler BASIS mounting system is particularly suitable if you want to use several optics on the same rifle. The Dentler BASIS base rail is securely mounted on the rifle to match the respective firearm model. The Dentler BASIS mounting rail, which holds the riflescope or another optic, is fitted onto the base rail. Both components are connected by the locking system.
The major advantage is its repeatability. A zeroed optic can be removed together with the mounting rail and later remounted on the same base rail. The system returns the optic to its original position. This makes switching optics considerably easier, particularly for hunters who use different optics depending on the type of hunting.
For ring mounts, different ring diameters and mounting heights are available. There are also solutions for riflescopes with internal rails as well as suitable interfaces for various red dot sights. This allows the Dentler mounting system to be adapted to numerous firearms and optics.
The Main Advantages of a Dentler Mount:
- High repeatability when removing and remounting the optic
- Modular mounting system
- Quick, tool-free optic changes
- Play-free connection between the base rail and mounting rail
- Various mounting options for riflescopes and red dot sights
- Firearm-specific base rails for numerous popular hunting rifles
- High-quality construction Made in Germany
Choosing the Right Dentler Mount
The Dentler mount you need primarily depends on your firearm and the optic you use. For the firearm, select a suitable BASIS or BASIS VARIO base rail. You then need the mounting rail with the appropriate interface for your riflescope, driven-hunt scope or red dot sight. For a ring mount, the main tube diameter and required mounting height must also be taken into account.
At Hunting Sport, you will find Dentler base rails, mounting rails, mounting rings and other accessories for building your mounting system. If you are unsure which components you need for your Dentler mount, we will be happy to help you select the right components for your riflescope mounting system.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dentler Mounts
What is a Dentler mount?
+
A Dentler mount is a modular riflescope mounting system consisting of a firearm-specific base rail and a mounting rail for the optic. The system allows different optics to be changed quickly and remounted with repeatable accuracy.
What is the difference between Dentler BASIS and BASIS VARIO?
+
Dentler BASIS allows you to use multiple optics on one firearm with repeatable accuracy. BASIS VARIO extends this principle, allowing suitably configured optics to be used on multiple firearms.
Does a Dentler mount need to be re-zeroed after changing optics?
+
With a correctly mounted and zeroed Dentler system, the point of impact remains unchanged after removing and remounting the optic. This repeatability is one of the key advantages of the mounting system.
Can I use different riflescopes with a Dentler mount?
+
Yes. You can equip different riflescopes, red dot sights and other compatible optics with a suitable mounting rail and then use them on the corresponding base rail.
What mounting height do I need for a Dentler ring mount?
+
Dentler BASIS ring mounts are available in mounting heights of 3.5 mm, 6.5 mm and 9.5 mm. The height is measured from the top of the mounting rail to the underside of the riflescope's main tube. The right option depends primarily on the firearm, objective diameter and required clearance.
