Mounting a sling on the top rail of a handguard without interfering with your optics requires purpose-built hardware. A low-profile solution keeps your sling attachment accessible while preserving your sight picture for precision work.

GROVTEC US INC SIDE RIDER SLING MOUNT

Why this mount matters for precision shooting

The Side Rider is engineered specifically to place a sling mount on the top rail of a handguard while remaining below the optic sight-line. That low-profile mounting system reduces cheek-weld disruptions and prevents any obstruction of magnified or red-dot optics—critical for follow-up shots and long-range transitions. At $30.59, it’s an affordable rail accessory that brings professional-level ergonomics to a variety of platforms.

Construction and finish

Materials and protection

Constructed from aluminum with a Type-III black anodized finish, the Side Rider offers a balance of strength and light weight. The anodized treatment improves corrosion resistance and surface hardness, so the mount stands up to routine field use without adding significant mass to the rifle.

Mounting location and profile

The mount’s design seats on the top rail of the handguard and deliberately sits below your line of sight. This keeps QD or sling point attachment low enough to avoid interfering with optics, yet high enough to provide a natural sling geometry for one- and two-point configurations.

Brand: Grovtec Us Inc. Model: Various. Category: Rail Accessories. The “Various” model designation indicates compatibility options across multiple handguard profiles—confirm fitment for your specific rail system before purchase. View product details and pricing.
