Geissele Super Precision®  SDMR Scope Mount 30 mm, DDC

Designed as the mount for the Sig Tango6T 1-6x Designated Marksman Rifle

Special Charlie's Military Contract Over-Run purchase - BLEM

The Geissele Count strikes again - Count Blemula !  Note:  These are US Military contract blemished mounts.  We have inspected the mounts, and the Count has his mark on the bottom.  The blemishes we found are all in the form of anodizing coloration.  Sometimes the upper and lower parts are slightly off in shade, other times, we are finding small patches that are discolored - looking like calcium on your water glasses coming out of a dishwater with too much calcium in the water is the best way that our armorers described it.  We rate them a B+ in finish quality.  There might be some with laser engraving a little out of focus, but we did not see that.  Mostly finish on the DDC anodizing.  The pictures are of two actual randomly sampled blemished mounts, to give you an idea on what to expect.

The Super Precision® - SDMR Scope Mount is made to be used with Sig Tango 1-6 Scopes as part of the U.S. Army’s Squad Designated Marksman Rifle.  Typically, the US Army will use the DDC color as part of their DMR program, but black can be found as well.

The SDMR M110A1 program adds much-needed versatility to practically every squad in the United States Army, further enhancing unit flexibility by offering a rifle system that is able to close the capability gap of 0-600 meters.  This platform provides increased accuracy over range, giving an infantry squad’s greater firepower, and precise target control, filling the role between the standard issue rifle and the sniper rifle.

While the SDMR scope mount was designed with a specific purpose and a specific scope in mind, the SDMR will work nicely with many 30mm scopes, especially when mounted on an AR15 or 417/SR25 platform.  The ring height is a standard 1.5" and the distance between rings is 3.0", the mount sits a little forward, in a slightly extended platform, and boasts four lugs to hold it firmly in place on the 1913 rail.

Performance and reliability are top priority when it comes to developing products for the Military.  The Geissele Super Precision® - SDMR Scope Mount was designed and built from the ground up for hard use specifically for this purpose.  The Geissele SDMR mount has military markings for which screws to tighten first, with four front screws and four rear screws.  The torque is shown at 17 inch-pounds for the rings and 72 inch-pounds for the mounting lugs.

The AR-15/M4 Super Precision series of scope mounts are optimized for use with an AR-15/M4 upper.  These mounts use Geissele’s update of the classic nut and bolt method for clamping the mount to the Picatinny rail, which is the most secure method of attaching your scope to your weapon. 

The Geissele Super Precision Mounts are made from 7075-T6 High Strength Aluminum.  To create a mount with the best possible return to zero we machine the entire mount from a single piece of billet aluminum.  This allows us to add pockets and ribs throughout the mount for added strength and rigidity. It allows us to line bore the caps to each another and then serialize the caps to the body. The line bore operation creates the best possible fit to the body of your scope so that you can apply proper torque without fear of crushing or damaging the body of your scope. Another advantage of machining from a single piece of aluminum is that we are able to create a mount with cap locations that will suit a wide variety of scopes.
