Description
Ares CNC Metal Sight Mount for SC-016 Series Scope (SM-013)
This Ares CNC metal sight mount, model SM-013, is listed for the Ares SC-016 series. Our listing names the SC-016 as a scope; retailer listings of the SM-013 describe the SC-016 as an Ares micro red dot sight, and one UK listing describes the mount as being for the SC-016 red dot and SC-015 scope, suggesting it lets you fit the red dot above the SC-015 (L85A3) scope.
Ares is a Hong Kong maker known for detailed replicas and its own optics and accessories. Machined metal mounts are stronger and more stable than plastic ones, so the sight holds its zero better through the knocks of a game.
What it is for
Fitting a small red dot above a magnified optic is a popular setup on modern service rifles: you use the magnified sight for distance and the red dot for quick, close-range shots. Please check the product images and the way the mount attaches before ordering, as we cannot confirm every combination it suits.
We also stock the Ares SC-015 L85A3 scope. If you are unsure whether the SM-013 suits your optics, contact us with your sight and rifle details.
Fitting
Make sure the replica is unloaded before fitting optics. Fit the mount according to its instructions, tighten the screws evenly and firmly without overtightening, and check that the sight is secure. Re-zero the sight after fitting.

Care and maintenance
Check the mount screws before each game, as vibration can loosen them over time, and a drop of low-strength thread locker can help. Wipe the mount clean after muddy games and dry it before storage.
