Third Eye Tactical Unimount
by Chris Parkin
As shooters look for more precision with rifles customised to deliver every available ounce of accuracy, we are incorporating more and more heavily built optics from makers like Schmidt & Bender, March, Sightron, Nightforce, I.O.R. and Premier Optics to compliment this performance.
The Unimount displays its generous size, even next to the steel Badger Ordnance rings
Six bolts per ring! Note the built-in bubble level
MOA, care has to be taken to not only align everything perfectly, but also not exceed the available scope tube space.
The TET offensive Third Eye Tactical (TET) have for some time provided rings in a variety of sizes to mount any scope to Weaver/Picatinny bases as well as some more specialised offerings, such as the Sako and Tikka rails. TET are a company with a desire to listen to shooters and provide what we ask for. Buyers requiring an ultra-strong mount with less chance of an expensive or heavy scope moving during use can now turn to a new model which further broadens this company’s range of scope-mounting options.
Their new Unimount is a one-piece style but actually consists of three parts which, although bolted together, are reinforced by machined
pockets and when accurately
assembled in the TET workshop with an alignment bar, are then Loctited into
Some of these top-end optics weigh in at more than 1kg which, when coupled with 30, 34, 35 and even 40mm tubes, recoil and transport/storage accidents, is starting to point shooters in the direction of more heavily-built scope mounts. Some users have adopted a third standard scope ring or use a 3 ring version of mounts on rifles like Sako’s TRG but, when allied with the need for scope inclination of between 10 and 40
place. This does allow a somewhat modular build but it remains a homogenous design and does allow individual components to be changed in the future if the need arises - for another different scope etc. The design features two rail clamps at either end of the central bar, each using a pair of M5 bolts. Two central underside recoil-lugs slot into your Weaver/Picatinny rail to prevent slippage and the rings themselves each feature no less than six M4 fasteners to gently but certainly `nip-up’ your scope tube.
