Vector Optics Push‑Button QD Sling Swivel Mount (SCOT‑36)—Instant Sling Attachment for 21 mm Picatinny/Weaver Rails

Upgrade your gear with the Vector Optics Push‑Button Quick‑Detach (QD) Sling Swivel Mount (Model SCOT‑36), engineered for swift sling engagement and flawless zero retention in tactical, hunting, and competition applications. Seamlessly compatible with any standard 21 mm Picatinny or Weaver rail, this mount delivers powerful performance in a compact and robust form factor.

Compact, Rugged Build

The mount features a two-part design: an upper push-button collar and a steel swivel loop. The frame is machined from lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy and finished in matte black, while the loop and internal locking mechanisms are steel for maximum durability. With a total length of just 20 mm and height of 12.5 mm, it adds minimal bulk to your build and adds only 45 g (1.6 oz) net weight on your rifle or carbine.
Installation is tool-free and intuitive—just clamp to your rail, and the push-button loop snaps securely into place.

Fast QD Interface with Secure Retention

Designed to accept standard QD sling swivels, the push-button mechanism operates with a crisp tactile click. Pressing the button quickly releases the swivel, allowing instant weapon detachment or sling swap. Despite its speed, the latch maintains consistent retention and zero, even under repeated recoil. A single-handed push-button system streamlines transitions without tools.

Engineered for Real Firearms Use

This mount is built to withstand live-caliber use—with feedback from users confirming durability when handling rifles up to magnum calibers. However, consistent maintenance is recommended: like other QD systems, the push-button mechanism may benefit from periodic lubrication to prevent seizing from dirt or rust.

Ideal Use Cases

• Rapid sling removal or attachment on the move.
• Single-point sling setups for tactical or patrol use.
• Weapon transitions between rifles without re-zero delays.
• Compact builds where low profile and light weight are essential.

Important Notes & Considerations

While many users report reliable, long-term performance, some skilled operators advise caution: QD swivels can be prone to jamming or accidental release if not regularly maintained. A few have cited potential failure during aggressive movement or debris exposure, so regular inspection and lubrication are recommended in harsh environments.

Summary

The Vector Optics SCOT‑36 Push‑Button QD Sling Swivel Mount is ideal for shooters who want fast sling management, secure attachment, and durable construction—all in a minimalist package. Perfect for tactical operators, hunters, and competition shooters who require modular sling capability without compromising reliability.
