A quick detachable improvement upon scope mount systems having a front mount allowing swiveling in the horizontal plane is disclosed. The rear mount and base of such scope mount systems are modified. The concavoid inner surfaces of the latching means mate with the convexoid surface machined into the same side of the bottom portion of the rear mount around a bore traversing horizontally through the upper portion of the base when the rear mount is positioned into the zeroed position, the bore being positioned below where the upper flat surface of the base abuts the flat surface of the rear scope mount. The second latching member of the improvement is truncated on a plane parallel to the bore through the base, and preferably has a lever means integral therewith such as to permit quick release of the rear mount and detachment of the scope by swinging out so as to detach the front mount. The improvement is applicable to a number of popular scope mount systems on the market.

In a detachable scope mount for a gun comprising a base having an outer rear flat surface and fixable to the receiver of the gun, the flat surface being located on a plane parallel to the axis of the bore of the gun and perpendicular to a line radial to the axis of the base of the gun; a front mount rigidly fixed to the front portion of the scope and attached to the base in a manner such that movement of the scope only in a plane parallel to the flat surface is possible; a rear mount rigidly fixed to the rear portion of the scope and having a flattened surface contacting and parallel to the rear flat surface of the base when the front portion of the scope is mounted on the base and having two outward facing opposing convexoid surfaces; such that when the rear mount is positioned so that the scope is aligned with a plane passing outward from the axis of the gun bore and at a 90°angle to the plane of the flattened surface, a bore passes through the base parallel to the flattened surface and perpendicular to the bore of the gun and parallel to the axis of the convexoid surfaces; wherein a first latching means having a shaft member of size such as to be snugly turnable and insertable in the bore in the base and having a head member having an inner concavoid surface matable with one of the convexoid surfaces, and wherein the first latching means is positioned with its shaft member in the bore in the base; the improvement comprising: (a) the shaft member of the first latching means being adjusted and fixed in the bore in the base; (b) a second latching means having a head member and threads matable with threads centering on the axis of the bore in the base and an inner concavoid surface matable with the other convexoid surface of the rear mount; such that when the second latching means is screwed on or in the threads centering on the axis of the bore in the base, the scope is fixedly centered; the improvement further characterized in that the head of the second latching means is sufficiently truncated along a plane parallel to the bore through the base such that the rear mount will pass over the truncation when the second latching means is unscrewed in the unlatched position such that the truncation is parallel to the flattened surface of the base.
