Hawkins Precision just released the TM, a one-piece scope mount built around precision rifle shooting and the mounting accessories that go with it. This is a cantilever design without the typical limitations of welded-on Picatinny sections, which means you get configurability without sacrificing the rigid geometry that matters when you’re shooting at distance.
Hawkins Precision @ TFB:
The mount footprint is shorter than most one-piece cantilevers, which lets it sit on both full-length and split rail actions without forcing a compromise on scope clearance or optical alignment. That’s practical engineering for shooters moving between platforms or building rifles on Remage actions where rail real estate gets tight. The cross-bolt design pins the scope securely in place, and the integrated bubble level lives in the top cap, letting you verify cant from your shooting position without breaking visual focus.
What sets the TM apart is the accessory ecosystem Hawkins thought through upfront. The mount ships with two 3-slot Picatinny rail sections for mounting electronic levels, shot timers, or additional gear, plus a 4.6-inch Picatinny “diving board” specifically sized for weapons-mounted laser rangefinders. If you’re running an LRF, that dedicated mounting surface beats the retrofit approach of bolting something to a rail section not designed to carry the weight.
The cable routing tray in the base keeps electronic level and timer cables organized and out of the visual plane, which matters if you’re shooting in tight positions or on barricades where stray cables snag. If you’re running electronic levels and shot timers on your precision rifle, does cable management from the mount base change how you organize your setup, or are you already running a clean cable routing system?
The cross-bolt torque spec is 65 foot-pounds for the base. The finish is corrosion-resistant black anodize, and the design is pure function. Available in 34mm, 35mm, and 36mm diameters across 1.27-inch and 1.54-inch heights, both at 0 MOA. The 1.54-inch height is standard for night vision and thermal clip-on compatibility if you’re running dual-optic setups.

What’s your approach to mounting an LRF on a precision rifle: a dedicated rail section on the mount, or would you prefer a purpose-built diving board like the one Hawkins included?
