Lightweight billet aluminum 10/22 red dot base machined on Haas VF-2 with tight tolerances and sleek profile

Why We Built the Best-Looking 10/22 Red Dot Mount on the Market

Billet Ruger 10/22 red dot mount with Aimpoint Micro footprint installed on rifle – low profile lightweight design

Most of the 10/22 red dot mounts you see online look like they were designed in five minutes:
a plain block of aluminum with some random pockets cut into it, sharp edges everywhere, and a footprint that sits way too high on the receiver.

Functional? Sure.
Attractive? Not even close.

A 10/22 is one of the cleanest, most classic rifle profiles ever made — and the average mount completely ruins the look of it.

So instead of settling for another boxy mount that looks like a cheap import, we machined our own.
The goal was simple:

Make the best-looking 10/22 mount.

Period.

Not bulky.
Not tactical-for-no-reason.
Not something that sticks out like a Lego block on top of a sleek receiver.

Just a clean, low-profile, purpose-built mount that belongs on the rifle.

A Cleaner Design (Because Aesthetics Matter on the 10/22)

If you look at most 10/22 mounts, they’re just rectangles with bolt holes.
No shape.
No contouring.
No thought.

We wanted the opposite — a mount that:

  • flows with the receiver
  • has intentional edges and surfaces
  • looks like a precision part, not an afterthought
  • doesn’t overpower the rifle
  • doesn’t add visual weight

The end result is a mount that looks factory, but better.
Rifle guys immediately notice it.


Probably the Lightest 10/22 Micro Mount Out There

We didn’t set out to make the lightest 10/22 mount — it just happened naturally because everything unnecessary was cut away.

No chunky walls.
No overbuilt bosses.
No wasted material.

Just rigid structure, tight machining, and clean geometry.

The 10/22 is a lightweight rifle by nature.
Your optic mount should match that theme, not fight it.


Low Profile Without Looking Like a Brick

We kept the footprint tight so it doesn’t sit tall or bulky.
Most mounts add more height than the rifle actually needs.

This is:

  • faster to get on target
  • more natural to shoot
  • better for accuracy
  • cleaner looking to the eye

You’ll feel it immediately when you shoulder the rifle.


Billet, Tight Tolerances, No Guesswork

Like everything we machine, this mount is cut from billet aluminum on our Haas VF-2 in Kentucky.
Not cast.
Not offshore.
Not mass-produced.

Each part comes off the machine looking like a finished piece — because it is.

If you’re running an Aimpoint Micro, Holosun 403/503, Romeo 5, or a similar footprint, it will bolt up perfectly.
