Abstract
A selectively adjustable firearm scope mount is provided which includes a base for mounting to a firearm and a rib for receiving a scope assembly. The rib is preferably selectively positionable relative to the base as determined by a selected one of a plurality of individually and independently adjustable stops. The stops correspond to and are adjusted according to different ranges or cartridge loads and thus the selected relative position between the rib and the base. The stops are preferably carried by a rotatable turret presenting indicia corresponding to the various stops, each stop being positioned within a cavity. The turret may be fixed against undesired rotation by a catch. A pin is removable and replaceable without the need for tools thereby permitting ready substitution a new rib with scope assembly mounted thereto as a modular unit.
