American Rifle Company 35Mm 1.26'' 0 Moa Scope Mount Black
The American Rifle Company 35mm 1.26" 0 MOA scope mount delivers the same precision engineering philosophy that made ARC's M10 scope rings a trusted choice for serious riflemen over the past decade. This 35mm scope mount is built on the M-BRACE mounting system — a platform designed from the ground up for shooters who demand accuracy and repeatability, not convenient shortcuts. Whether you're setting up a dedicated long-range rig, a precision hunting rifle, or a competition build, a quality scope mount is as critical to your zero as the optic itself.
The M-BRACE platform represents an evolution in ring design, incorporating lessons learned from thousands of real-world applications. The 1.26" height positions your scope at a natural viewing plane for most modern rifle builds and maintains adequate clearance for most bolt-throw profiles — though ARC notes that on actions with 90-degree bolt rotation, when the mount is positioned at the far aft recoil slot, the serrated interface block may contact an open bolt handle. In such setups, moving the mount forward one slot on your picatinny rail typically resolves any interference. This kind of real-world detail separates ARC's engineering from generic ring designs.
0 MOA means this mount sits true to your rail with zero built-in cant correction, giving you complete control over your scope's angle of inclination. That matters if you're dialing your own load development, running a custom stock position, or simply want no surprises between your action and your glass. Installation is straightforward: apply 55 in-lbs of torque to the scope clamp and rail mount screws, and 30 in-lbs to the bubble level screw if equipped.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount work on my rifle with a 90-degree bolt throw?
Yes. However, ARC notes that if you mount it at the far aft recoil slot on a picatinny rail, the serrated interface block may contact the bolt handle when opened. To avoid this, simply position the mount one slot forward on the rail. This is an easy fix during setup and doesn't affect the mount's function or zero.
What's the difference between 0 MOA and angled scope mounts?
A 0 MOA mount sits perfectly parallel to your rifle's rail with no built-in angle. This gives you complete freedom in how you position your scope for your specific eye relief, stock fit, and aiming method. Angled mounts come pre-canted for dedicated long-range setups; 0 MOA is the choice if you want full control.
How much torque should I use when installing this mount?
Apply 55 in-lbs (6.2 Nm) to the scope clamp screws and the rail mount screws. If your mount includes a bubble level, torque that screw to 30 in-lbs (3.4 Nm). Proper torque is essential for a consistent, repeatable zero.
