Midwest Industries MK2 QD Rifle Scope Mount High 30mm
The Midwest Industries MK2 QD rifle scope mount in high 30mm is a purpose-built quick-detach solution for shooters who demand repeatable accuracy without compromise. Whether you're building a duty rifle, a long-range precision gun, or a versatile hunting platform, this mount combines the speed of tool-free QD convenience with the rock-solid return-to-zero performance that serious shooters expect. The MK2 generation brings refined engineering and clean aesthetics to an already proven design, backed by Midwest's Made-in-USA craftsmanship.
What sets the MK2 apart is its attention to operational details. The quick-detach lever action is widely recognized as one of the smoothest on the market, with zero wobble and a positive, confident engagement. The fully adjustable QD lever requires no tools to tune, so you can dial in the exact tension that works for your specific rail—whether it's mil-spec tight or slightly out of tolerance. The mount itself features hard-coat anodized 6061 aluminum construction, precision-machined for consistency, and comes with the Midwest Industries Optic Mount Tool to simplify ring adjustment and scope fitting straight out of the box.
The high ring configuration positions your optic 1.93 inches above the rail centerline, giving you clearance for backup iron sights or tactical accessories underneath. The design accommodates scopes with objectives up to 56mm, and the premium engraving throughout the mount reinforces the quality you're putting on your rifle. Torx hardware on the caps adds a touch of modern detail and pairs well with the overall solid build. This is a mount that feels as good in hand as it performs downrange.
