Recknagel S&B Convex Rail Component for Tip-Off Base -1

• S&B Convex rail interface: This upper component is made specifically for Schmidt & Bender Convex Rail optics, giving a precise mechanical fit that helps maintain secure alignment in a tip-off mounting system.
• Tip-off mount compatibility: Designed for the Recknagel Tip-off Mount family, it supports a detachable setup that suits rifles where the optic may need to be removed and reinstalled with a consistent mounting position.
• Black anodized aluminum construction: The aluminum body keeps weight down while the anodized finish adds surface protection against handling wear and field use.
• 0 MOA configuration: With no built-in inclination, this component is well suited to general hunting and sporting setups where a neutral mounting angle is preferred.
• Broad lower-interface compatibility: It fits tip-off bases using the EAW, Optilock, Osuma, and Recknagel Ø 7 mm interfaces, making it a practical replacement or conversion part within existing mount systems.

About the Recknagel Tip-off Mount Series

The Recknagel Tip-off Mount series is a family of rifle-scope mounting solutions built around detachable mounting for hunting and sporting firearms. Within the range, Recknagel offers both traditional scope-ring versions and models with integrated rail interfaces, allowing the system to support different optic formats without changing the basic mounting concept. The series is listed for rifles such as the Merkel KR1, B3 and B4, reflecting its focus on break-action and quick-detach applications where repeatable positioning matters.

One of the defining strengths of the series is its variety of upper-interface options. Recknagel includes versions for 70-degree, 45-degree Zeiss internal, Swarovski SR, S&B Convex, and Weaver/Picatinny profiles, as well as scope-tube variants in several diameters. This gives the series a modular character: the user can match the mount to the optic rather than forcing the optic into a generic setup. In the Merkel-specific versions, the use of aluminum construction keeps weight under control while preserving the solid feel expected from a precision mount for hunting optics.

About the Recknagel S&B Convex Rail Component for Tip-Off Base -1

The Recknagel S&B Convex Rail Component for Tip-Off Base -1 is a purpose-built upper mount component for shooters using a Schmidt & Bender Convex Rail optic on a compatible tip-off base. Instead of relying on separate rings, this design matches the rail profile directly, which simplifies installation and creates a clean, low-profile connection between optic and rifle. For hunting optics and sporting rifles where secure fit and straightforward handling matter, that direct interface is a practical advantage.

This version uses black anodized aluminum, combining low weight with the corrosion resistance and surface hardness expected from a field mount. Its KR 0.0 mm extension and 0 MOA inclination keep the setup neutral, making it suitable for conventional zeroing distances and rifles that do not require built-in cant. The absence of windage adjustment also reflects a simple, mechanically direct layout, with alignment intended to come from the rifle and base geometry rather than from added adjustment elements in the mount itself.

As a spare part or conversion component, this model is especially useful for maintaining or adapting an existing Recknagel tip-off system. It is compatible below with the EAW Ø 7 mm, Optilock Ø 7 mm, Osuma Ø 7 mm, and Recknagel Ø 7 mm interfaces, which broadens its usefulness across established mount setups. The result is a specialized mounting accessory for shooters who want a dedicated S&B Convex rail solution within a detachable tip-off platform.

About Recknagel

Recknagel is a German manufacturer focused on firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights, and hunting accessories. The company’s history goes back to 1867, when Adolf Recknagel began manufacturing firearm sights in Albrechts near Suhl, Thuringia. That long background in gun-related components helps explain the brand’s strong association with precise mechanical parts for hunting and sporting firearms.

Today, Recknagel’s range extends beyond classic scope mounts to include Picatinny rails, firearm sights, triggers, safeties, and hunting silencers. In 2010, the company introduced the ERATAC line for tactical mounts and accessories, showing its reach across both traditional hunting and more modern tactical applications. Recknagel relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and in 2022 Dr. Moritz Fehrer acquired the company. Across these changes, the brand has remained closely identified with German-made mounting hardware and practical firearm accessories.
