Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Kinetic Development Group Sidelock 30MM with 56MM Objective?
Posted: 8/17/2018 9:30:56 PM EDT
I was curious if anyone was running a KDG Optic Mount with 30MM rings and a 56MM objective lens scope.

I have a Nightforce Benchrest 12-42x56 that I want to use in a KDG Mount to test reloads but I'm not sure if the objective will clear the rail.

According to the drawings I saw it should clear with a decent amount of room but I wanted to ask y'all first.

Everything you need is right there on the product page.

KDG Mount



That 1.49in (37.85mm) measurement is what you're going to want. From there, as is on the Nightforce product page, you have a 69mm outer diameter for your objective.

This means that you need a 34.5mm center height or so. Given the 37.85mm of clearance from the mount, you'd have 3.35mm or 0.13in of clearance - which should be just about perfect.

I have just about the same measurements. The math is correct and in theory it will work. I was just curious if anyone has actually done it.
