Picatinny is a big step forward from the Weaver standard. Weaver has a few predesignated slots while Picatinny has slots all over its surface, allowing the device to be mounted wherever the user finds it fitting. Weaver's slot is 3.8 mm wide, which is why ring mounts made for a Weaver rail will also fit on a Picatinny rail while ring mounts made specifically for a Picatinny rail will not fit on a Weaver rail. This is one of the main reasons why Picatinny is a far better mounting solution.
Contessa is an Italian company, famous for producing aesthetically appealing mounts with a nice finish. The tolerances of the produced pieces are very tight – there are no deviations, the mounts are very carefully machined. Contessa's Picatinny rails are made from steel and come with their unique screws which fit nicely into the rail. The screws have a huge contact surface and a bigger head than screws of other mount manufacturers, while the thread is the same. Contessa's Picatinny rails, made in Italy, are available in both 0 MOA and 20 MOA versions. Throughout the middle of the rail, there is a canal so that the rail can be used together with rifle's sights.
Remove all the stains (grease, oil etc.) from the rifle's receiver with a cleaning fluid (acetone). Once the surface is clean and dry, check whether the screws match the rail and the holes on the receiver. Make sure that the Picatinny rail is compatible with the rifle by inspecting the mounting holes on both. Before mounting the rail permanently, apply a minimal amount of thread-locking fluid 278 or 648 on screws and contact surfaces. Be careful not to get the fluid in or near the mounting holes. Carefully clean the remaining excess fluid around the rail with a cleaning fluid. Using a torque driver, screw the screws appropriately (up to 2.2 Nm) – do not overtighten.

Warranty Policy
Many of our optical products have long warranty
periods and are usually used for many years, sometimes even decades.
Possibility of having a problem with any optical problem is small,
however in the course of time it can happen. Since we believe that
aftersales services are a cornerstone of any good online store, we also
believe that it is our duty to help our customers in such cases.
If you have a problem with your product and think that it should be
repaired or replaced under warranty, please contact us.
We will help you with:
- Arranging shipping to the manufacturer or to our company
- Communication with the manufacturer
- Arranging and advising about customs regulation if the product has to be shipped in the EU and later repaired out of EU again.
We
have a wealth of experience in this matter and can make sure that you
will not have any problems with reimporting the repaired product back to
your country.
If the product is already older than its warranty period, we can still arrange repair
in most cases. Repairs can also be arranged for many European products
even if they are damaged; however such repairs are paid for by the
customer.
The bottom line of our Warranty policy is that our customers can always rely on our support no matter how long ago they bought a product from us and no matter where they live.
