About the Roessler

The company founder Erich Roessler started his gunsmithing career in Austria at only 15 years of age and was later promoted to department head of weapons assembly, the job he held until 1996, when he founded his own rifle manufacturing company Roessler Waffen Austria. It could be said it became a family-run company after Erich's son joined his father to help him with manufacturing and processing of mechanical weapon components and the joint effort paid off, as the production and sales of their products kept growing. At the end of the 1990s they began working on the development of Titan 6, which was based on an idea of high-quality bolt action hunting rifle, which could be more affordable compared to the other rifles because of high in-house production knowledge of the founder.

Titan 6 was introduced to the market at the start of 2002 and immediately impressed the public and also other rifle producing companies with the quality and precision of the rifle, even more if you take the price into consideration and thus the rifle spread throughout the Europe like a wildfire in the next couple of years. The incoming orders grew so much, that the company had to expand to Kufstein and so did expand their sales of the rifles throughout the whole world. In 2012 the company presented a new model, Titan 16, which had the same characteristics of high quality and affordable price, with a different focus, as this one was more focused on the driven hunt.

Roessler Titan 16 Rifle Review

Roessler Titan 16 is a straight pull bolt action with 16 locking lugs locked directly into the barrel. These locking lugs ensure even better safety due to the large contact surface. Roessler bought the patent and the rights to Mauser M1996, therefore Titan 16 and M1996 are very similar, resulting in the same amount of locking lugs between the rifles and Titan 16 also being straight pull action.

Which rifles have interchangeable mounts

As said before, Roessler Titan 16 is very similar to Mauser M1996 and it even has the same mounting surface, so the mounts for Titan 16 will also fit M1996 (with serial number higher than 12000) and later model M97 as well. Therefore, mounts meant for aforementioned Mauser M1996 and M97 will also fit Roessler Titan 16.

Other rifles with very similar mounting surface to Roessler Titan 16 are Remington 700 LA along with Mauser M94 and M1996 (with serial number lower than 12000). The only difference is the BHU (difference in height between the front and rear mounting surface). Remington 700 LA has BHU of 2,9 mm, while Mauser M94 and aforementioned M1996 have BHU of 2,8 mm, compared to 2 mm BHU of Roessler Titan 16, meaning the Titan 16 mounts could potentially be installed on these rifles. Almost a millimeter of difference in BHU would, however, make the mounts inclined, so we strongly advise against doing so, because the accuracy of the shots would suffer too much.

Our recommendation for mounts

Fixed mounts:

We would recommend to first install Picatinny rail and then choose between fixed mounts suitable for Picatinny rail.

Detachable repeatable mounts:

This Recknagel mount would be a good fit for Titan 16.

Picatinny rails:

We would recommend EAW Picatinny rail, as it is affordable and made of steel and therefore matches the material of the receiver which is ideal from mechanical perspective. Read more about that in our article:

Help us build our riflescope mounts database

If you have this rifle or any other rifle at home, we would really appreciate it if you could send us some photos of the rifle receiver (mounting surface of the rifle when there are no mounts installed), because it would help us expand our rifle mounts database. If you send us a photo of rifle receiver which we don’t already have, that would be of great value to us and we will definitely reward you for your help.

Please send us an email for more information. You can contact us here: [email protected]

There are two terms found for similar thing: quick release scope mounts and quick detach scope mounts. Term quick release scope mounts is used mostly in Europe and quick detach scope mounts is used mainly in USA, although they mean the same thing. With these terms we describe a scope mount that can be quickly removed from the rifle in the field without using any tools and quickly attached back on the rifle when needed.

Main advantages:

  • possibility to use multiple scopes on the rifle,
  • easy transportation of the scope and the rifle separately,
  • if scope fails, it is possible to immediately detach it and use iron sights.

FIXED vs DETACHABLE scope mounts

Fixed scope mounts are mounted to the rifle with screws and sometimes even with glue. This means that it is impossible to attach or detach the scope mount using bare hands without using tools. It also means that they are not meant for constantly being attached on or detached off the rifle. Once you screw the mount on the rifle, it normally stays there for a longer period of use.

Detachable scope mounts offer possibility to attach or detach them without using any tools. This is extremely handy while transporting the rifle and the scope separately and it also offers multiple solutions of different optics on the same rifle. Detachable scope mounts can be attached or detached from the rifle in a matter of seconds, using bare hands.

DETACHABLE vs REPEATABLE scope mounts

It is important to know and understand expressions “detachable” and “repeatable” while talking about scope mounts. Term detachable scope mounts implies scope mounts that can be quickly attached or detached without using any tools. However, when you detach this kind of mount and attach it back on the rifle, it is recommended to zero the rifle before using it again. Procedure of detaching and again attaching the mount will probably need a sighting in before next shooting, because mount will not be secured on the rifle in the perfectly same position and conditions as it was before detaching it off the rifle.

On the contrary, repeatable scope mounts are most sophisticated mounts. These scope mounts are also detachable, however – they provide removing scope from the rifle and attaching it back again without zeroing the rifle every time. This means that they are made more precisely and that they are offering a possibility of using different optical sights / scope on the same rifle. These mounts are ideal for hunters who can use optical and iron sights interchangeably, depending on the needs in different situations. With the repeatable scope mounts, it is useful to keep them oiled as well as the upper part of the rifle, so that repeatability is more ensured. With a touch of oil, the repeatability might be better, because parts of the mount will always return to their previous locations.

Different types of repeatable scope mounts:

  • Pivot mounts,
  • Dentler mounts,
  • Picatinny repeatable mounts,
  • 12 mm dovetail repeatable mounts (for break barrel rifles, such as Steyr Duett, Blaser B750, Fair Combi, Fair SLX 800, Bettinsoli rifles, etc.),
  • Original repeatable mounts, made by manufacturers of rifles for their rifles (Blaser mount, Sauer SUM mount, Mauser M03 mount, Steyr Monoblock mount, etc.).

TIP OFF / ROLL OFF vs SLIDE ON mounts

Nowadays, there are a whole lot of different possibilities, made for attaching riflescopes on the rifles. There are also a lot of different expressions, having the same meaning. It is good to know that tip off and roll off mounts are basically the same thing. They represent quick release scope mounts for dovetails and rails which can be rolled or tipped off the rail vertically to the side of the rail. On the contrary, there are also slide on mounts available on the market. They represent quick release scope mounts that can be slided on or off the rail or dovetail from front or rear side of the rail / dovetail. All of these expressions are mainly used for separate rings that can be attached to the rails / dovetails. As far as functioning the rifle, it does not matter which one of these mounts you choose – tip / roll off or slide on mounts. If they are installed correctly, they are all going to work. However, the main difference between them is the principle of attaching them on rails on dovetails.
