ABOUT TIER ONE MOUNTS
When Zero Matters Most.
Tier One Mounts was built on a simple belief:
If your optic shifts — nothing else matters.
My name is Curtis Warga. I’m a machinist, builder, and the founder of Tier One Mounts. This company didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in the shop — testing, redesigning, refining, and obsessing over the small details most companies ignore.
After years of working with precision machining equipment and seeing how most mounts rely on conventional clamping systems, I knew there was room for improvement. Not marketing improvement. Mechanical improvement.
That’s where V-Lok™ was born.
​
Built, Not Branded.
Tier One isn’t a rebranded overseas mount.
Every design decision is focused on:
• Mechanical repeatability
• Return-to-zero integrity
• Structural rigidity under recoil
• Precision tolerances
• Real-world durability
Our mounts are machined using high-end CNC equipment and held to tight tolerances because performance isn’t negotiable.
If your mount moves, your zero moves.
That’s unacceptable.
​
Why We’re Different
Most companies optimize for:
• Cost
• Speed
• Volume
We optimize for:
• Precision
• Repeatability
• Integrity
V-Lok™ is engineered to create consistent positioning and clamping force across the rail interface — reducing lateral shift and increasing repeatability when properly installed.
Patent pending.

Our Core Values
Precision First – If it isn’t mechanically sound, it doesn’t ship.
Integrity Always – No inflated claims. No gimmicks.
American Machined – Built with intention, not shortcuts.
Performance Over Hype – We let the engineering speak.
​
The Mission
Tier One Mounts exists to build serious equipment for serious shooters.
Whether you're training, competing, hunting, or protecting what matters — your gear should be something you never have to second-guess.
When zero matters most, your mount should be Tier One.
