The Badger Ordnance C1 Max 34mm Scope Mount in 1.54" height with 20 MOA cant represents the pinnacle of precision rifle optics mounting, engineered from the ground up for long-range competitors and tactical shooters who demand zero-compromise performance.
- 34mm ring bore diameter fits today's most popular precision rifle optics
- 1.54" centerline height optimizes clearance for large objective lenses
- 20 MOA built-in cant extends long-range elevation adjustment capability significantly
- 1"-wide, six-screw ring caps deliver maximum clamp force and optic coverage
- Hardened steel clamp foot with four #10 crossbolts locks down under extreme recoil
- Non-cantilevered design simplifies eye relief with short-action rifles and rail combos
Who This Is For
The Badger Ordnance C1 Max is built for serious precision rifle competitors, PRS shooters, and long-range hunters who run high-magnification 34mm optics and need the extra 20 MOA of elevation to reach extended distances — typically 800 yards and beyond — without burning through their scope's internal adjustment range. It's equally at home on a dedicated hunting rig or a dedicated match rifle where rock-solid repeatability is non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a 20 MOA mount instead of a standard 0 MOA mount?
A 20 MOA canted mount effectively shifts your scope's elevation zero toward the lower end of its internal adjustment range, giving you significantly more usable "up" travel for long-range shooting. For most standard rifle cartridges, 20 MOA of additional cant translates to roughly 200–250 extra inches of elevation adjustment at 1,000 yards — essential for .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, and similar cartridges pushed to their limits. If you regularly shoot past 800 yards, a 20 MOA base is widely considered the practical standard.
Is the C1 Max compatible with all C1 Modular Mount accessories?
The C1 Max is compatible with most accessories and attachments in the Badger Ordnance C1 Modular Mount lineup. However, Badger Ordnance notes that certain ARC (Arca-Swiss) and ACD-specific components have dedicated versions, so confirm compatibility for those particular accessories before purchasing. The core ring cap, crossbolt, and rail-clamp interface are shared with the broader C1 ecosystem.
What makes the C1 Max ring design better for precision shooting than standard rings?
Unlike conventional two- or four-screw ring caps, the C1 Max uses a 1"-wide six-screw cap design borrowed from Badger's Max 50 rings. This wider cap distributes clamp force more evenly across a greater surface area of your scope tube, reducing stress concentration and the risk of tube deformation — a key concern with premium 34mm optics. Combined with four hardened #10 crossbolts securing the mount to the rail, the system is engineered to maintain zero through high-recoil magnum cartridges and extreme environmental conditions.
