Recknagel Rear Ring for Suhl-Claw Mount, 30 mm

• Traditional detachable design: This rear ring is made for the Recknagel Suhl-Claw Mount system, giving classic hunting rifles a removable scope setup that can be taken off for transport or open-sight use and refitted in the same fitted position.
• 30 mm ring interface: The 30 mm diameter fits many modern riflescopes, making it a practical spare part or replacement when building or servicing a traditional claw-mounted optic.
• Steel construction: The steel body suits a mount component that must hold alignment under repeated use, offering the rigidity and wear resistance expected in a fitted detachable mounting system.
• 0 MOA geometry: With 0 MOA inclination, the ring keeps the optic in a neutral mounting position, which suits classic hunting rifle setups where a straightforward sight line is preferred.
• Clean, fixed rear arrangement: The rear ring has no windage adjustment, which keeps the part mechanically simple and appropriate for Suhl claw mounts that are individually fitted to the rifle.

About the Recknagel Suhl-Claw Mounts Series

Recknagel Suhl-Claw Mounts continue a mounting pattern that was developed by gunsmiths in Suhl in the 1920s. Within Recknagel’s mount range, this series represents the traditional side of hunting optics: a manually fitted detachable system for classic sporting rifles rather than a universal rail-based solution. It remains relevant for hunters and gunsmiths who want the handling and appearance of a period-correct claw mount while still using modern optics.

The series is built around a front hook and rear locking arrangement that lets the scope be removed and reattached after proper fitting. That matters on rifles used with more than one sighting setup, or where the scope may be taken off for transport, storage, or access to iron sights. Recknagel offers the system in versions for different scope-tube diameters as well as upper parts for certain manufacturer-specific rails, which makes the series flexible despite its traditional layout. The defining characteristic is not speed alone, but the combination of repeatable positioning, compact steel construction, and the kind of individual fitting associated with classic German hunting rifles.

About the Recknagel Rear Ring for Suhl-Claw Mount, 30 mm

The Recknagel Rear Ring for Suhl-Claw Mount, 30 mm is a dedicated rear upper component for a traditional detachable scope installation. Its role is straightforward but important: it provides the 30 mm scope interface at the rear of the mount while matching the geometry of the Suhl claw system below. For restorations, repairs, or a fresh custom build, that makes it a practical part for keeping a classic rifle in service without moving away from the original mounting concept.

The use of steel construction is especially appropriate here because the rear ring is part of a fitted assembly that depends on stable contact surfaces and long-term dimensional consistency. In field use, that helps the mount cope with repeated removal and refitting while maintaining the precise relationship between rifle and scope that claw mounts are valued for. The silver finish also suits traditional European rifle styling, particularly on older sporting arms and combination guns where polished steel components remain visually appropriate.

With 0 MOA inclination and no windage adjustment, this rear ring is designed for a clean, mechanically simple installation. Rather than adding extra adjustment mechanisms at the ring itself, it follows the logic of the Suhl claw system, where careful fitting does the work. That makes it best suited to classic hunting optics projects where secure attachment, repeatable placement, and period-correct construction matter more than modular adjustment features.

About Recknagel

Recknagel began in 1867, when Adolf Recknagel started manufacturing firearm sights in Albrechts near Suhl, Thuringia. The company is a German specialist in firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights, and hunting accessories, with a product range that also includes Picatinny rails, triggers, safeties, and hunting silencers. This background is directly relevant to a product such as a Suhl claw mount ring, because precise mechanical interfaces and durable metalworking have long been central to the brand’s work.

In more recent years, Recknagel expanded its reach with the ERATAC line of tactical mounts and accessories in 2010, showing that the company covers both traditional hunting applications and modern tactical optics. Recknagel relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and in 2022 the company was acquired by Dr. Moritz Fehrer. Even with that broader portfolio, Recknagel remains closely associated with well-made German mounting solutions for hunters and gunsmiths.
