Recknagel UNIVERSAL-Interface Aluminum Scope Ring, 48mm

• UNIVERSAL interface: The ring provides a stable mounting point for Picatinny top rails and dedicated adapters, making it easier to add a red dot sight or other accessories directly on the riflescope without using extra rail space on the firearm.
• 48 mm objective fit: Designed for scopes with a 48 mm objective area, this ring gives a clean way to position an accessory where it is easy to access and naturally aligned with the optic.
• Freely selectable interface position: The interface can be rotated to the preferred angle during installation, which helps tailor the accessory position to the rifle setup, shooting style, and available clearance.
• Aluminium construction: The lightweight aluminium body keeps added weight to a minimum, which matters when building a practical hunting or field rifle that still needs extra mounting capability.
• Compact scope-mounted solution: By attaching on the scope rather than the firearm’s main rail, the ring supports a space-saving setup for offset sights or compact accessories while keeping the rifle streamlined.

About the Recknagel Accesories Series

Recknagel Accesories covers practical components for hunters and gunsmiths who need adaptable hardware around the rifle and optic, not just the primary mount itself. Within this family, UNIVERSAL interface scope rings are intended as add-on mounting points for attaching Picatinny rails and dedicated adapters to a riflescope. That makes the series especially relevant for users who want to expand an optic with a compact red dot sight or other auxiliary equipment without changing the main mounting system.

A defining characteristic of the series is its scope-mounted interface concept. These rings are designed to clamp either to the objective area or the center tube, depending on the model, and the interface position can be chosen during installation. In practice, this gives the user more freedom to place an accessory where it clears the rifle, suits the shooting position, and remains easy to use. The series also reflects Recknagel’s accessory-focused design approach: straightforward mechanical construction, compact dimensions, and lightweight aluminium parts intended to integrate neatly with hunting and sporting rifle setups.

About the Recknagel UNIVERSAL-Interface Aluminum Scope Ring, 48mm

The Recknagel UNIVERSAL-Interface Aluminum Scope Ring, 48mm is a compact accessory mount for riflescopes that need an additional attachment point near the objective. Its main purpose is to create a secure platform for ERA-TAC Universal Interface accessories, allowing the optic to carry a top-mounted or offset component without requiring a larger or more complex base system. For rifles set up with limited rail space, this can be a practical way to add capability while keeping the overall package tidy.

The 48 mm ring size is intended for the corresponding scope diameter in the mounting area, and the ring’s rotatable interface position gives useful flexibility during installation. Instead of forcing the accessory into one fixed orientation, the ring can be positioned to suit clearance around the turret saddle, barrel profile, bolt handle, or other mounted equipment. That matters when fitting compact red dot mounts on a scope tube, where small changes in angle can improve access and sight picture.

Its aluminium construction keeps weight low at 50.00 g, so it adds functionality without noticeably burdening the rifle. The black finish keeps the appearance discreet and consistent with most modern optics and mounting hardware. Overall, this Recknagel scope ring is best understood as a modular interface part: simple in form, but useful for building a more adaptable riflescope setup for hunting optics or other field-oriented rifle configurations.

About Recknagel

Recknagel began manufacturing firearm sights in 1867 in Albrechts, near Suhl, Thuringia. The company is a German manufacturer focused on firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights, and hunting accessories, with a product range that also includes Picatinny rails, triggers, safeties, and hunting silencers. This long specialization in mechanical rifle components is central to the brand’s reputation in the optics and mounting segment.

In more recent years, Recknagel expanded its offering with the ERATAC line of tactical mounts and accessories in 2010, strengthening its position in precision-oriented and professional mounting solutions. The company relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and in 2022 it was acquired by Dr. Moritz Fehrer. Across its catalog, Recknagel remains closely associated with practical, precisely made mounting hardware for hunting and sporting firearms.
