I wanted to say a word about this mount now , a year later,I’ve put a mountain of rounds through this AR with this set up.
no QD, no fancy, just solid mounted business.
This rifle has been packed for miles and miles of rugged ground. I have not dropped the rifle while this mount has been on it but I have bumped it on many trees and just transporting it with no case it get bumped around quite a bit, not abused but not used by someone who cares about dings and scratches.
So what…..it better be good through that right ? Right…..
The real reason I felt compelled to put a word in about this mount is this.
I wanted to move the mount 1 inch forward putting the front of the mount right over the barrel nut, a good stable place for not being completely on the upper receiver.
Long story short I could not get what I wanted and now I have moved a perfectly zeroed set up for nothing…..kinda disappointed I put the scope back where it was and tightened with the provided Torx tool. Not ever have I used a torque wrench on this mount, rings and base included all get tightened by hand and I stop when I like how it feels.
I am sure if an inch pound torque wrench got put on it , all my hand tightening would be inconsistent at best.
So I mope to a shooting spot to try and dial the scope back in to , hopefully, where it was before.
I put the Dirty Bird 100 measly yards out and start, I shoot 5 rounds and look……puzzled , it looks good???? I fire a few more and this is what I got with plinking ammo..obviously the 9mm hole isn't part of this
Didn’t touch a turret, right back where it was as far as I can tell.
I have dealt with optics all my life through hunting rifles, never had this....usually always off by an inch or two
This scope mount is under 100 bucks......I believe I gave $86 right from Aero and I am just thrilled with it !
