About the Recknagel Series

Recknagel detachable mounts are built for hunters and sporting shooters who need a secure connection between rifle and optic without unnecessary complexity. Within the company’s mounting range, these systems sit in the practical, rifle-specific part of the lineup: mounts designed around known receiver geometries and common scope tube standards rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. That approach matters in the field because a correctly matched base and ring set reduces fitting compromises and gives the optic a more stable platform.

Across the series, the emphasis is on precise machining, durable materials and compatibility with established hunting rifles. Depending on the model, Recknagel offers mounts in different ring diameters and base patterns so the shooter can match the mount to both the scope and the firearm. The design philosophy is straightforward: repeatable alignment, dependable clamping and a construction that stands up to recoil, weather and regular use. For traditional hunting rifles as well as modern sporting setups, the series is intended to provide a solid mechanical interface that supports the optic’s performance rather than becoming a weak point in the system.

About the Recknagel Mount Rings with bases, Merkel SR1 Basic, 34.0 mm

The Recknagel Mount Rings with bases, Merkel SR1 Basic, 34.0 mm is a complete detachable mount made for shooters who need a direct, rifle-specific solution for a 34 mm scope tube. That tube size is commonly chosen for larger hunting or precision-oriented riflescopes, where increased internal adjustment range and more robust scope construction are often part of the package. A mount built specifically around that diameter helps the optic sit securely and evenly, which is important for maintaining alignment and avoiding stress on the scope body.

This version uses a steel construction, giving the mount the stiffness and durability expected on a self-loading hunting rifle such as the Merkel SR1 Basic. In practical use, steel is valued for its resistance to wear at the contact points and for the confidence it gives when the rifle is carried extensively, fired repeatedly or fitted with a comparatively heavy optic. Because the rings and bases are supplied as one coordinated set, the mount is also a sensible choice for users who want a cleaner installation process and a fit tailored to the rifle rather than a generic mounting combination.

Compatibility with the Merkel SR1 Basic is the main focus, but the pattern also suits several related rifles including Anschutz 1780, Anschutz 1781, Haenel SLB 2000+ and Heckler & Koch SLB 2000. That makes this mount particularly relevant for hunters using classic European semi-automatic platforms and looking for a dependable way to pair them with a modern 34 mm riflescope.

About Recknagel

Adolf Recknagel began manufacturing firearm sights in 1867 in Albrechts, near Suhl, Thuringia, laying the foundation for a company closely associated with German gunmaking. Today, Recknagel is known as a German manufacturer of firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights, and hunting accessories, with a product range that also includes Picatinny rails, triggers, safeties and hunting silencers. This broad specialization is relevant here because it reflects long experience in the mechanical interface between firearm and optic, where precise tolerances and dependable retention matter most.

The company also expanded into the tactical segment with the ERATAC line in 2010, adding mounts and accessories aimed at more demanding professional and sporting applications. That mix of traditional hunting expertise and modern mounting design has helped make Recknagel a familiar name among shooters who value robust, purpose-built hardware.
