The Magpul Hunter X22 Backpacker Optic Mount is built for shooters who demand a tougher, cleaner, and more capable way to run a red dot on their takedown rifle. It pushes the already practical X-22 Backpacker platform even further, giving you a solid and repeatable mounting solution without compromising the stock’s streamlined design. Whether you’re carrying your rifle deep into the backcountry or setting up a compact rimfire for range work, this mount ensures your optic is always ready, always aligned, and always secure.
Machined from Mil-Spec anodized aluminum, the Backpacker Optic Mount delivers the strength and consistency serious shooters rely on. Magpul cuts no corners here; every edge, surface, and contact point is engineered for long-term durability and unwavering stability. Once installed, the mount replaces the factory barrel block, creating a seamless fit that feels purpose-built from day one. This clean and unobtrusive design not only complements the X-22 Backpacker aesthetic but also maintains critical functionality that other mounts can’t match.
One of the most impressive attributes of the Backpacker Optic Mount is its ability to retain zero between takedown and reassembly. Rimfire takedown platforms are notoriously sensitive to alignment shifts, but Magpul solves that challenge with precision machining and exacting tolerances. Whether the rifle is broken down for storage or carried across miles of rugged terrain, you’ll get the same point of impact when you snap it back together. Just mount your preferred red dot and shoot with confidence.
Despite adding optic capability, Magpul ensures you don’t lose the ability to use your open sights. There’s no need to remove the mount or reconfigure your system just to return to irons. This thoughtful feature preserves the rifle’s versatility and keeps the optic mount from getting in your way when simplicity is all you need.
Like every piece of gear Magpul proudly produces, the Backpacker Optic Mount is made in the USA. Its build quality and reliability reflect American manufacturing at its finest, delivering a component you can trust in the field, at the bench, or anywhere in between.
