Abstract: A scope alignment assembly is provided that can automatically level a scope. The assembly can include a base defining a hole and including a first scope ring, a spring in the hole, and a detent in the hole, the detent urged toward the scope. The scope mount can include a registration element disposed on a lower portion of the scope, distal from a turret assembly. The detent and/or registration element can be operable in a transition mode in which the detent moves along a scope surface while the scope is rotated about an axis of rotation, and a levelling mode in which the detent is configured to register with the registration element to provide at least one of a visual feedback, an audible feedback and a tactile feedback to indicate the scope is level relative to the base. A related method of use also is provided.

Abstract: A firearm mount is provided including an upper handguard configured to extend above a cocking lever housing of a firearm and a receiver shroud extending rearward from the upper handguard and integrally formed with the upper handguard to form a single piece guard. The upper handguard can define a cocking lever slot and the receiver shroud can define an ejection port recess rearward of the slot. The receiver shroud can include a mounting rail, such as a picatinny rail, and opposing lateral sidewalls extending downward from the rail. The receiver shroud can simultaneously extend above a firearm receiver as the upper handguard extends above a cocking lever housing to cover an upper surface of the firearm. The guard can be secured to the firearm with opposing plugs having claws that engage ledges of the receiver to clamp the guard to the firearm. A related method of use is provided.
