Recknagel Ring for Merkel Base, 34 mm - 1x

• 34 mm ring interface: Built for 34 mm scope tubes, this ring keeps the optic properly supported and aligned, which matters when fitting larger hunting scopes with more adjustment range and larger erector assemblies.
• Merkel-specific tip-off fit: Designed for the Recknagel Tip-off Mount system with the Recknagel Oval Interface, it gives a model-specific connection that helps maintain a secure, repeatable fit on compatible Merkel mounting bases.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight down without giving up the rigidity needed in a scope-mount component, making it well suited to hunting rifles where balance and handling still matter.
• 0 MOA geometry: With 0 MOA inclination, the ring is intended for straightforward optical alignment on standard hunting setups where no built-in cant is required.
• Black anodized finish: The dark finish reduces visual distraction and adds surface protection, helping the ring stand up better to regular handling and field use.

About the Recknagel Tip-off Mount Series

The Recknagel Tip-off Mount series is a family of rifle-scope mounting solutions developed for Merkel KR1, B3 and B4 rifles. Within Recknagel’s hunting-mount range, this series is aimed at shooters who want a mounting system matched to specific rifle platforms rather than a generic one-size-fits-all arrangement. The concept combines a low-profile fit with the practical convenience of a tip-off style mount, making it relevant for hunting rifles where clean handling and dependable optic positioning are both important.

The series includes both classic scope-ring versions and variants for integrated optic rails, covering common interfaces such as Zeiss internal rail, Swarovski SR, S&B Convex and Weaver/Picatinny. For tube-mounted optics, Recknagel offers sizes from 26 mm to 40 mm, which allows the same mounting family to support compact traditional scopes as well as larger modern optics. The Merkel-specific versions are made of aluminium, keeping the system light while still suited to regular field use. In practical terms, the series is built around compatibility, low mounting height and a rifle-specific fit that suits hunting and sporting firearms.

About the Recknagel Ring for Merkel Base, 34 mm - 1x

The Recknagel Ring for Merkel Base, 34 mm - 1x is a spare or replacement upper mounting component for shooters using a 34 mm riflescope tube on a compatible Merkel base. Its role is straightforward but important: it provides the correct ring diameter for larger modern scopes, which often use 34 mm tubes to allow increased internal adjustment travel and a stronger main tube structure. That makes this ring especially relevant for hunting optics with larger objectives or more advanced elevation systems.

Because it is part of the Recknagel Tip-off Mount family and uses the Recknagel Oval Interface, the ring is intended to integrate with a dedicated mounting platform rather than act as a universal standalone ring. That model-specific approach helps ensure the optic sits correctly within the mount system and supports a tidy, secure installation on compatible rifles. The aluminium construction keeps unnecessary weight off the rifle, which is useful on field guns carried over long distances, while the black finish gives a subdued appearance and added surface protection.

With 0 MOA inclination, no windage adjustment and a KR 0.0 mm extension, this ring is configured for a neutral, centered setup rather than for built-in cant or lateral correction. In practice, that suits conventional hunting rifle applications where the priority is a clean fit, correct scope support and dependable integration with the existing Merkel mounting base.

About Recknagel

Recknagel began in 1867, when Adolf Recknagel started manufacturing firearm sights in Albrechts near Suhl, Thuringia. The company developed into a German specialist for firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights and hunting accessories, with a product range that also includes Picatinny rails, triggers, safeties and silencers. This long focus on the interface between rifle and optic is what makes the brand especially relevant in the mounting category.

In more recent years, Recknagel expanded its tactical offering with the ERATAC line in 2010 and added lightweight hunting silencers in 2016. The company relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and Dr. Moritz Fehrer acquired Recknagel in 2022. Across hunting and sporting applications, the brand is known for German-made mounting components designed around precise fit, repeatable positioning and broad firearm compatibility.
