Scope mount

Abstract

A scope mount for a firearm is disclosed. The scope mount may include a first ring component covering a first portion of an upper half of a scope body, and a second ring component covering a second portion of the upper half of the scope body. The scope mount may also include a third ring component covering a first portion of a lower half of the scope body, and a fourth ring component covering a second portion of the lower half of the scope body. The first and second ring components may removably attach to the third and fourth ring components, respectively, and may form at least two rings around the scope body. The third and fourth ring components may be integral with a scope mount base, and the scope mount base may be configured to removably attach to a Picatinny rail.

1 . A scope mount for a firearm, comprising:
 a first ring component covering a first portion of an upper half of a scope body;   a second ring component covering a second portion of the upper half of the scope body;   a third ring component covering a first portion of a lower half of the scope body;   a fourth ring component covering a second portion of the lower half of the scope body, wherein the first and second ring components removably attach to the third and fourth ring components, respectively, forming at least two rings around the scope body, and wherein the third and fourth ring components are integral with a scope mount base; and   a leveling surface on the scope mount base between the third and fourth ring components, such that the leveling surface is maintained at a fixed distance parallel to an underside of a scope placed in the scope mount.

         4 . The scope mount of  claim 1 , wherein the ring components are formed from cutting two solid rings in half with a saw blade that has a thickness of approximately the same dimension as the fixed distance. 
     
     
         5 . The scope mount of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second ring components are screwed to the third and fourth ring components, respectively, forming the at least two rings. 
     
     
         6 . The scope mount of  claim 5 , wherein the at least two rings cover a majority of the scope body between a turret of the scope and an objective bell and an ocular bell of the scope. 
     
     
         7 . The scope mount of  claim 1 , further including at least first and second segments of Picatinny rail removably attached, in alignment, to the first and second ring components, respectively. 
     
     
         8 . The scope mount of  claim 1 , further including at least first and second segments of Picatinny rail removably attached, in alignment, to the third and fourth ring components, respectively. 
     
     
         9 . The scope mount of  claim 1 , further including a plurality of screws stored in the scope mount base. 
     
     
         10 . A scope mount for a firearm, comprising:
 a scope mount base removably attached to a plurality of attachment points on the firearm, the scope mount base having a leveling surface;   a first ring component covering a first portion of an upper half of a scope body;   a second ring component covering a second portion of the upper half of the scope body;   a third ring component covering a first portion of a lower half of the scope body;   a fourth ring component covering a second portion of the lower half of the scope body,
 wherein the first and second ring components removably attach to the third and fourth ring components, respectively, forming at least two rings, 
 wherein the third and fourth ring components are integral with the scope mount base, and 
 wherein the leveling surface is maintained at a fixed distance parallel to an underside of a scope placed in the scope mount.
