Magne-Tech debuts the Magnetic Scope Mount, a magnet-based optic mount that snaps on instantly without bolts, cams, or re-zeroing hassles. Simple geometry, a lever, and neodymium magnets hold the mount in place.
A Different Take on Scope Mounts
Magne-Tech is taking a swing at one of shooting’s most familiar accessories. Instead of relying on traditional QD levers or torque settings, the company uses magnetism to secure optics to a Picatinny rail.
The result is a scope mount that attaches almost instantly. They also use this same idea for smaller picatinny-mounted accessories such as bipods, flashlights, and laser designators, but I’ll save that for another article.
The Magnetic Scope Mount targets shooters who swap optics often. It also appeals to anyone who runs night vision, thermal, or multiple scopes on one rifle. Magne-Tech designed the system to remove common mounting variables such as bolt preload, friction, temperature changes, or uneven torque.
According to the company, the mount returns to zero within 1/4 MOA. Magne-Tech tested this by repeatedly removing and reinstalling the mount while tracking the point of aim with a laser. The company also relied on long-term user feedback from shooters who ran the mount in live fire, proving it in the real world.
Materials and Construction
Magne-Tech builds the mount from 7075-T6 aluminum. That choice matters. Many scope mounts use 6061 aluminum to cut costs. Magne-Tech chose a harder alloy to reduce wear between mating surfaces while keeping weight down.
The full mount weighs 11.9 ounces. The base weighs 5.4 ounces. The ring section adds another 6.5 ounces. The mount measures 6.5 inches from front to back and has a ring height of 1.5 inches.

The Magnetic Scope Mount uses three neodymium magnets. Each magnet provides about 15 pounds of clamping force. Together, they generate roughly 45 pounds of hold against the rail. This isn’t the only thing that holds the optic mount in place, though. The Magnetic Scope Mount also has a lever with a thumbscrew that is meant to lock the lever out from accidental activation.
Ring Sizes and Compatibility
The Magnetic Scope Mount comes in multiple configurations:
- 1″ scope rings
- 30mm scope rings
- 34mm scope rings
All ring sizes share the same pricing structure. The mount height remains consistent across configurations at 1.5″ high.
Pricing, Warranty, and Availability
Buyers can purchase the mount as a complete set or as separate components. The full base-and-ring setup retails for $349.99. The ring section alone sells for $194.99. The base sells separately for $263.99.
Magne-Tech backs the mount with a lifetime warranty. The company also offers a 90-day money-back guarantee. This kind of backing by Magne-Tech really suggests their confidence in their product.
The Magnetic Scope Mount is available now through Magne-Tech’s website. The company is expanding U.S. distribution while already selling in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Germany. Expect to see them on the shelves at certain stores soon.
Why It Matters
The Magnetic Scope Mount is unique and seems to be executed well. I think this can be an excellent solution to switch-caliber systems to have a quick-change optic with a pre-set zero for the new caliber.
This can also be the case for an AR or other adaptive rifle system that needs to go from mid-range precision variable zoom optic to LPVO, depending on the mission. I am excited about this product and am looking to review it in the future, so watch for a full review here.
