Athlon Saddle Mount

A gun saddle that weighs just 3.5 oz — 4 to 6 times lighter than competing saddles — yet clamps 1.1" to 2.6" stocks securely in aircraft-grade aluminum. The 7-degree inward-facing jaws nest naturally against traditional, polymer, and composite rifle stocks without over-tightening. Mounts to any Arca-Swiss tripod head via the dovetail base or 1/4" thread.

Key Features

• 3.5 oz Aircraft Aluminum — CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum. Lighter than a loaded magazine, yet rigid enough to hold your rifle locked on target through recoil.
• 7-Degree Inward-Facing Clamp — Jaws angle inward to grip rounded and tapered stocks that slip in flat-jawed saddles. Smooth knurled adjustment dial for one-hand tightening.
• Recoil-Absorbing Pads — Rubber pads on both the sidewalls and bottom cradle dampen recoil and protect your stock finish.
• 1.1"–2.6" Clamping Range — Fits everything from slim rimfire stocks to full-profile hunting and tactical forends.
• Arca-Swiss + 1/4" Thread — Slides directly onto any Arca dovetail clamp. Backup 1/4"-20 thread for non-Arca tripods and ball heads.

Ideal For

• Hunters who need a universal tripod rest for any rifle without permanent Arca rail modifications — swap rifles in seconds.
• Long-range and PRS shooters looking for a saddle light enough to carry all day without adding pack weight.
• Law enforcement and tactical users who need fast, tool-free rifle mounting in the field.
