Construction & Performance
The SBB18 is manufactured from high-strength materials and finished to Contessa’s exacting standards. The saddle mount interface locks securely into the Blaser action, providing a rigid mechanical connection that maintains consistent positioning through repeated mounting cycles.
As with all Blaser saddle mount systems, final repeatability depends on correct installation and mounting technique, but the SBB18 is engineered to deliver predictable and reliable performance in demanding field conditions.
Contessa Quick Detach System
The Contessa QD system allows shooters to interchange optics efficiently, remove thermal scopes for transport or battery management, and return to shooting configuration without time-consuming re-zeroing—one of the defining advantages of the Blaser platform.
Thermal optics expose what hides in the dark. The mount’s responsibility is to remain locked, aligned, and absolutely consistent.
