Now that LaRue is getting into the bolt gun game with the Siete, how about a new line of QD scope mounts specifically for bolt guns?

I use LaRue mounts for all of my LaRue ARs, and I love being able to take my scope off for storage (makes my safe much more tidy), and then being able to remount it without loss of zero the next time I shoot.

I would love to be able to do the same with my bolt guns.

I am thinking about a QD mount that will place the scope close to the bore for scopes with 34mm tubes with 50mm objectives, and another for scopes with 34mm tubes with 56mm objectives, both properly designed for correct eye relief on a bold gun.  

It would be nice to have mounts that will work with standard bolt guns (McMillan or Manners stocks) that don't have anything forward of the scope base, and also chassis bolt guns (like the AIAX chassis) that have a barrel shroud but are not true contiguous rails.

Also, the rings should have 3 bolts on each side of the rings instead of the usual 2 on other LaRue mounts.  I am thinking something like a Spuhr, but QD.

So, that is 4 potential new QD scope mounts!

If you make them, I will buy them.  I can only imagine others will as well.

Chime in and show your support.  ML has proven that with enough market demand, he will build it.  Let's let him know!

something like these?

Yup. Those are what ride on my 700.

Same thing on my 10/22 target.

*head explodes*

 

FIFY

I knew of the existence of of the LT719s, but there are a few things about them I don't like.

There is no locking lever on either ring.  I am of the opinion there should be a locking lever on each ring.  

They are too low.  I use Badger M40A3 rings on one of bolt guns, they are 1 inch height, and a 56mm objective just BARELY clears the top of the barrel.  

Lastly, I would like a 6 bolt ring pattern (3 to a side).

Plus, I am not a fan of QD rings.  QD mounts are great, but QD rings don't do it for me.

The LT807 (1.375 height) is the best available option, but that is too high.

I know I am being ultra picky, but I like what I like and what I think works the best.

Given ML's eventual entrance into the bolt gun market with the Siete (please do a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 1/8 twist), I was trying to suggest some new products that would appeal to the serious bolt gun crowd.

I am a LaRue enthusiast, and there is no other AR than a LaRue AR  And, I run LaRue mounts on all of my Larue rifles.

But if I picked up a Siete, there isn't a LaRue scope mounting product that would fit my needs.

-719s work just fine

I have one set of LT719's and I'm going to use them on my 10-22 knockoff's scope.

I am needing a few more LT719 mounts for a few other scopes that need to be attached picatinny rails.

I also have 2 sets of LT123's with scopes in the rings.

LT719 are the lowest mounts LaRue makes and I haven't had my set unlock yet.

Love his mounts.

With the levers properly adjusted.......it ain't gonna fall off and you'll have to do something pretty serious to snag a lever (and something even crazier to get both) and open it.

6 screws may be what you want, but I don't think I've ever heard of a properly mounted scope moving in a LT mount.

And you don't have to do the levers. Get the VFZ mount and save yourself $50.

My $.02

I hunt with mine. No thrown levers yet.

Wish they came in 34mm.
