The DAVIKA MSM-03-QD is a quick-detach one-piece scope mount for bolt-action rifles. It handles magnum recoil up to .338 LM and returns the scope to zero after every removal. This version fits a 34 mm tube with 0 MIL tilt and a 34 mm height.
The manufacturer recommends a quick-detach mount when the scope moves between rifles or comes off for transport. Because of the QD lever, the LV-04-SMAI-A level does not fit quick-detach mounts; LV-01, LV-02 and LV-03 are intended for them.
The rings fit a 34 mm scope tube. The mount diameter must match the tube diameter stated by the scope maker exactly.
The 34 mm optical axis height is the middle option in the line. By the manufacturer's rule (half of the objective's outer diameter, which is about 7 mm larger than nominal, must not exceed the mount height) a scope with a 56 mm objective fits on 34 mm: its body is about 63 mm, so the minimum height is about 31.5 mm. Lens caps, a sunshade or an anti-reflection device need extra clearance. The manufacturer recommends 30 or 34 mm for classic bolt-action rifles and 34 or 38 mm for rifles with a long Picatinny rail on the handguard.
This is a zero-tilt mount. The manufacturer notes it is enough for most tasks and as a starting point: tilt is needed only when the scope runs out of elevation at long range. If the rifle's Picatinny rail is canted, that tilt remains as it is.
The rings and base of the one-piece mount are a single part machined from solid billet, so ring alignment is built in by machining and lapping is not needed. In the DAVIKA line, only one-piece mounts are available with tilt.
The eccentric QD mechanism with adjustable clamping tension lets you remove the mount with the scope from the Picatinny rail without tools and put it back. The lever has a locking button against accidental release. After reinstallation the scope returns to zero, with no re-zeroing needed; repeatability comes from the mount's patented design (patent No. 158006).
The base has a longitudinal center recess: the mount contacts the Picatinny rail along two narrow parallel lines, so rail imperfections affect its position less and re-mounting is more consistent. The center-cut recoil lug limits the contact area in the rail slot and spreads clamping force over two narrow bearing surfaces. Precision-milled grooves on the inner ring surface create high-grip zones when tightened and keep the scope from micro-slipping under recoil.
The mount has an integrated SMAI-A interface built on triangular geometry: the accessory's triangular tenon enters a larger slot and slides forward until the side faces press together, so joint tightness does not depend on anodizing thickness and recoil is taken by the tenon-and-slot joint. SMAI-A accepts PR-01-SMAI-A rails, FP-XX-SMAI-A secondary red dot adapters and the PT-01-SMAI-A turret guard.
The mount is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and hard anodized; drainage channels in every opening ensure an even coating, including in the threads. Screws are stainless steel with a dark anti-reflective coating. The manufacturer verified the −40 °C to +60 °C operating range in a climate chamber.
The mount has a finish of black hard anodizing: the matte surface does not glare and matches rifles with black furniture.
