Recknagel Rear Clamping Ring, 26 mm

• Steel construction: The ring is made from steel for the rigidity and wear resistance needed in a scope-mounting system, helping the optic stay securely aligned under repeated recoil and regular handling.
• 26 mm ring size: Built for 26 mm scope tubes, this rear clamping ring provides the correct fit for older European optics and other compatible scopes where a precise tube interface matters for secure, even clamping.
• Recknagel Ø 8 mm interface: Designed to match the Recknagel Ø 8 mm mounting interface, it serves as a correct replacement or build component within the system, supporting proper fit and repeatable assembly.
• 0 MOA inclination: The neutral inclination keeps the optic in a standard mounting position, which suits general hunting and sporting rifle setups without introducing additional cant into the installation.
• Compact KR 0.0 mm extension: With no added extension, the ring keeps the mounting geometry straightforward, which is useful when the rifle and scope already provide the required eye-relief position.

About the Recknagel Series

Recknagel scope-mount components are built around the same practical idea that defines the company’s mounting systems: a precise mechanical fit, durable materials, and model-specific compatibility for hunting and sporting rifles. Rather than treating the mount as a generic accessory, Recknagel develops rings, bases, rails, and replacement parts as parts of complete mounting solutions, so each component works within a clearly defined interface and geometry.

Within that approach, upper parts such as clamping rings are intended for users who need to maintain or configure an existing mount correctly instead of adapting mismatched parts. The emphasis is on repeatable alignment, secure clamping, and long service life under field use. Steel remains an important material in this part of the range because it offers the stiffness and durability expected in traditional riflescope mounting systems. For shooters using classic tube diameters or rifle-specific mounting arrangements, these components provide a way to keep a proven setup in service with the correct fit and finish.

About the Recknagel Rear Clamping Ring, 26 mm

The Recknagel Rear Clamping Ring, 26 mm is a replacement or build component for a mounting setup that uses the Recknagel Ø 8 mm interface. Its role is straightforward but important: it forms the rear support point for a compatible riflescope tube and helps maintain the mechanical consistency of the complete mount. Because this is a dedicated upper part rather than a universal ring, it is suited to repairs, restoration work, or completing a system with the correct matching component.

The 26 mm ring diameter makes it relevant for scopes that use this less common tube size, often found on classic European optics. A correct tube fit matters in practice because it helps distribute clamping pressure evenly and reduces the risk of movement or tube stress caused by an incorrect ring size. The steel body adds the strength expected from a recoil-bearing mounting part, which is especially valuable on rifles that see regular field use.

Its 0 MOA inclination keeps the optic in a neutral position, making it appropriate for standard zeroing distances and conventional hunting or sporting applications. The KR 0.0 mm extension means the ring does not shift the scope position forward or rearward beyond the base geometry, which is useful when the rifle action, stock design, and scope dimensions already provide the needed eye-relief placement. Finished in black, it matches the restrained, functional look typical of traditional scope-mount hardware.

About Recknagel

Recknagel is a German manufacturer of firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights, and hunting accessories. The company’s history began in 1867, when Adolf Recknagel started producing firearm sights in Albrechts near Suhl, Thuringia. Over time, the range expanded to include scope mounts, Picatinny rails, sights, triggers, safeties, and hunting silencers, with a strong focus on precision-made components for sporting and professional use.

The company relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and in 2010 it introduced the ERATAC line for tactical mounts and accessories. Recknagel added lightweight hunting silencers in 2016, and Dr. Moritz Fehrer acquired the company in 2022. Across these developments, Recknagel has remained closely associated with robust mechanical design and German-made mounting solutions for rifles and optics.
