DNZ Freedom Reaper for sure. Don't bother with LaRue unless you're specifically interested in mounts that don't hold zero and gouge your upper.  . |

Hardly. Your argument is that because a mount is “in service in the most extreme conditions by the most elite of our MIL where failure is absolutely no option” that it’s a quality mount. The very same thing can be said about ARMS mounts. So, again, why aren’t you recommending ARMS mounts as they are used in the exact same situations as LaRue mounts and meet the exact same criteria that you laid out? Dont worry  you don’t have to answer.

Quoted: Easy to deflect. Pure straw man illogic. We are not talking about Elcan mounts or other companies. Actually, it a double straw man argument in this case. Different company and different application. It's like condemning Colt for making the M1911 because Beretta makes the M9 and someone has a problem with the Beretta. Beretta is bad, so therefore, Colt is bad because MIL uses both. Your argument is that because a mount is “in service in the most extreme conditions by the most elite of our MIL where failure is absolutely no option” that it’s a quality mount.

You're right about that, ARMS won't gouge your upper. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: Larue is not ARMS. STOP! Threads naturally get crooked, and that’s to be expected from time to time. But you won’t let this shit go, and for whatever weird reason have decided to make the OPs thread about you and your need to have the last word. Sorry, but shit like that gets old. It will also result in getting the OPs thread locked by the mods, but that’s probably a forgone conclusion now anyway. |

Still interested in beating your out of tune drum? STOP! Threads naturally get crooked, and that’s to be expected from time to time. But you won’t let this shit go, and for whatever weird reason have decided to make the OPs thread about you and your need to have the last word. The OP asked about scope mounts, plenty of people gave their input about what they like and the pros and cons of different mounts. I didn’t do anything different than that. If you’re getting upset that I don’t like a certain mount because of its poor build quality and inability to not only retain zero but to even hold zero, I don’t know what to tell you other than to get a grip. If you want to continue state your personal issues with my opinion I’m sure the OP and the mods would appreciate it if you took it to PMs or to GD or something other than what you have been doing. Thanks chief. |

Some evidence would be nice. I look forward to that thread.

Quote HistoryQuoted: When the Marines held their recent SSDS Mount competition, they apparently found LaRue mounts to be the smoothest, strongest, best design, and sexiest, then, to the chagrin of others, handed me their 3,000 unit SSDS Mount order. We just built the Marines another 30,000 ACOG mounts, meaning their confidence in LaRue mounts is repeating. . |

I would recommend Aero Ultralight, because I feel like it is what I should’ve bought. I saved about $20 by getting the Nikon mount, and it seems to work okay, but it does scratch up my receiver and the threads are not smooth at all. I also have a Burris PEPR QD, and I’ve never been very happy with it.
I’m not sure why there aren’t more high quality QD mounts at a fair price. It seems like there should be dozens of great QD amounts for less than $100. |

The precision machining and materials required of true return to zero QD mounts pretty much rules out making them for $100 and under.
OP needs a mount, but he will have to stick with a fixed mount to stay under 100 and have it hold up. Lots of choices in budget friendly fixed mounts and we've covered most of them in this thread. Nothing wrong with fixed mounts. I use them on many applications. My personal preference for a budget fixed mount is the Leupold Mark 2 IMS which can be picked up for $85 if you shop carefully. It is usually priced about the same as the Aero Precision. It's heavier at about 7 ounces (typical of most cantilever mounts) but is far easier to put on and take off with its more standard 13mm nut dual cross-bolt design. |
