Or if I buy 2 more, it's like getting them for $40.00 off - that's a better plan, I think. View Quote For example, if you buy just 5 more it'll be the same as getting them all at $50 off, or, in other words, you only lost out on 6.7% in savings. A real man would buy 10 more, and then you only ended up spending $5 more per mount because you bought one early. |

No Bueno on the LaRue Mount Sale e-mail. Also had a failure with a shooter's forum verification. Nothing in my Outlook junk folder but Verizon recently moved us all to f'ing AOL mail so I go to AOL and sumbitch, a hoop of gun related emails are in the AOL spam folder. I cannot say what I think of the AOL anti-gun c*cksuckers without risking a COC violation. [/crappy rant off]

I've been trying to get one for 140 off EE for about two weeks now, but I couldn't get anyone to come off their ask.....good timing for me.

You got me Mark! I have a new JP .300 BO I was needing glass for. I went 30mm to prevent me from spending too much on 34/35 mm glass.

Me neither. We both definitely need the Trijicon Accupower 1-8. Funny how a $60 off deal on a scope mount turns into a $1500 purchase you weren't expecting. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Call and ask, if you don't ask the answer is always no.
I missed a Sig deal by 5 days, I called when I made my order and asked for the discount and they said "Sure!". If they say no, well it's your money, return it and buy under the discount. |

I can't really squeeze this into the budget, and I have no need for it...but I don't know if I can afford NOT to buy it at this price!

And I don't have a 34mm scope........yet I did buy a primary arms 1-8 platinum as optics planet was offering a $150 gift card , and I can get 10% linked below. I got the optic today, it has great glass, but if you thought razors were tanks you haven't seen ones of these. Platinum 1-8 scope deal AR15.com optics planet 10% coupons I also ordered a lt137 mount to mount a vortex viper red dot that is currently on a glock 34 mos. As Cabelas is offering rmr's for $349 sold out, but can be backordered. Cabelas RMR deal So I think a lt742 or lt788-2 is in my future as well. |

Screw it. Ordered, already shipped. In two weeks I'll get a 13.2" handguard and gas block. Geeze, Mark is killin' my vacation savings.....but I can deal with it.

Thanks for the deal, but anything for those folks that just purchased one at full price? I understand that you can't go back forever, but it would sure be great if you could give a little assist to customers that are still within your return period. I've got an LT104 sitting on the bench still in the bag and it's surprising that you would rather have me ship it back than credit the difference. I'd be up for a second one, but I could really use some help with the first one. Sorry to be "that guy", and great news for you guys getting in at this price, but how about a little LaRue love? Thanks! It doesn't hurt to ask. Larue answers one way or the other and life goes on. |

Looks like the sale is over.
Got in for 1 Has Larue posted a total sold yet? @LaRue_Tactical |
|
I just checked the link from the LaRue email of 2 days ago. SOLD OUT
Well. that lasted longer than most of his limited sales have. I got in within the first 10 minuets of receiving the email at the very start, and my 2 were shipped the same day. Thanks Mark for a great sale. |
|
Great sale! I had just come into some money (two rebate checks) that would have let me buy another one. After all if I got a 35mm mount then I'd _have_ to get that Razor scope to fit it as some point. But sold out. At least I have one coming in to put on the BuildAR, making it more and more LaRue.
|
|
Wow, that was quick.
Ordered a 30mm which shipped the same day. Decided to order a 34mm last night at the sale price (not sure what will go into it but I am sure I can find something). |
|
Just got my shipping notice for order 4998XX. I think I order two mounts around 12 pm on the first day.
|
|
Just arrived. It even came with a bit of bling, which I don't expect much of with sale items. Thanks Mark!
Deplorable bumper stickers are the best |
|
Got my mount today and a bunch of other cool stuff. Pocket Constitutions, stickers, Dilo, targets, book. Wife was hoping for more Dilo dust. well, I was too
Great looking mount, thanks for the quick shipping and extras. |
|
ordered 2 literally as soon as the email popped in. they were delivered earlier this morning with all the normal swag. dillo dust, dillo, targets, catalogs, stickers, and pocket constitutions.

Lowlight back to bashing Larue mounts.
https://forum.snipershide.com/forum/sniper%C2%92s-hide®-armory-supply/sniper-s-hide-rifle-scopes/6483776-return-to-zero-failures Ok, got some Internet on the AERO Plane so I can address some stuff as I called a few industry insiders while waiting to board. To clarify a bit, we did have guys make mistakes but we caught them, stuff like zeroing a Gen 2 using the turret instead of the screw under the cap. We remedied that, which is why I am ruling out operator error. However, I was reminded of an issue we talked about in the past that was evident this weekend. Vertical Split Rings ! Of the scopes that had an issue, several were using vertical split rings, including LaRue mounts. The other no name split rings were low budget off the "Three Bear" shelf pieces of junk. This could have contributed to the problems as several manufacturers are adamant precision rifle shooters need to avoid this rings. The vertical split ring mounts can and do cause problems under the hood with scopes. It's one of those things where you see a problem, send the scope in and suddenly they disappear when the companies tests them. In my discussion today, unsolicited, a highly respected insider asked me, "how many had vertical split rings" ? Then it hit me, damn, I know of at least 3 off the top of my head. For sure the NF had them and I found it odd it was acting up in windage wise. So we may have a cause and effect for a couple of these issues. 40 students, 8 solid issues, and at least 3 vertical split rings in use. |

For sure the NF had them and I found it odd it was acting up in windage wise. So we may have a cause and effect for a couple of these issues. 40 students, 8 solid issues, and at least 3 vertical split rings in use. View Quote 8 of 40 students had problems returning to zero (note this is reticle return to zero, not the remove-and-replace-mount return to zero LT products are famous for). 3 of these are known to have used vertical-split rings. ...which tells us that 5 of 8 were NOT vertical-split rings. If the problem happened to more people without V-S rings than with, then why try to focus blame on V-S rings? We also know that 32 out of 40 students did not have trouble returning to zero. But no one asked if any of them were using vertically-split rings. That's kind of important because if some V-S rings were shown to work well, maybe V-S isn't the problem? Now, there may well be some scopes that should not be used with V-S rings. If a scope manufacturer says not to use them (with their product), I assume that manufacturer has a reason for saying so. They should know the strengths and shortcomings of their scope design/construction. But my personal guess is that the problems seen in that class came most commonly from user error and lack of understanding or attention when installing the scope. Manufacturers should provide good instructions for the use of their products and users should actually follow the directions. Know your rings and know your scope and there's a good chance you'll be happy with their performance. I have two new LT-104s coming from this sale. I will do my best to use them correctly and may well run a tall target test to see if my scopes perform any differently in these mounts than in the mounts these will be replacing. I'm neither a sniper nor a long-range hunter (my "long" shots on the farm are between 200-400yds), but based on previous experience with LT products, I wouldn't expect to see any problems that I can contribute to the LaRue rings. YMMV |

I would be curious to know if there is any engineering behind the difference between vertical/horizontal split rings and scope malfunction.
Personally I have 4 sets of vertically split rings and haven't ever heard of such a deal or had issues with my Nightforces returning to zero. Btw I kind've prefer the vertical split aesthetically. In my discussion today, unsolicited, a highly respected insider asked me, "how many had vertical split rings" ? .... According to the guys I am talking too, the use of split rings is the bane of their customer service existence ... in a word, they are flustered when dealing with people who use split rings. They explained it, and in the retelling, I am probably not doing it justice. However, when the question is asked and the answer is yes, they immediately go, Ah Ha ! It's a bit detailed when talking about the pressure it puts on the erector assembly but I am gonna say, it's their job and they know what they talking about. Just to throw that out without any math or explanation behind the reasoning is lame. Maybe someone can point me to a scope mfg that does not recommend vertical split rings? |

View Quote there are haters for every product out there. for me its a Ruger firearm. i swore to never own one after my first issued carry pistol was a Ruger P89DC in 9mm. that thing ratted so bad i swore Ruger off for life. doesn't really mean that they build a bad firearm, just my experience with that one model turned me against them. nothing more. |

missed it; oh well maybe he'll do it again like the polymer sale

I received my LT-104 today, and its of course just as top notch as the one I've been using for years.
