[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Aimpoint Mounts for Picatinny rails

Posted: 9/28/2006 10:57:12 AM EDT

Hello,

I'm trying to mount an aimpoin M3 to a picatinny rail. I've been looking for the lowest profile and height mount I can find and haven't come across much. The trouble is I cannot find companies that communicate whether their mounts are for Picatinny or Weaver rails.

Does anybody know of a very low mount for an aimpoint made for 5mm Picatinny spacing?

Thanks for any help!

The lowest mount made is made by Aimpoint themselves. It's rather inexepensive and simple (no quick release or guaranteed return to zero).

Here is a link to what it looks like www.swfa.com/p-7732-aimpoint-x-wide-30mm-ring.aspx

The Aimpoint Quick Release Picatinny works for me and the U.S. Army.

Except it's quite a bit higher than the ARMS or LaRue mounts, which themselves are higher than the (cheapie) AimPoint Wide Mount.

Saying the aimpoint mount is cheap???

Can someone provide me witha priduct code number or link of some sort?

I cannot find any info on Aimpoint's mount?

Im gowing for low height over durability here. Im not going to be beating the hell out of it, I just want a decent low height mount...

Thanks again.

Forest gave you a link to the Aimpoint x-wide low mount.

I’ve used two Aimpoint x-wides and they are a quality mount. Never had any trouble at all with them. There’s not much else to say about them since they are the very basic that a mount can be.

Inexpensive, not 'cheap'.

I'm in the same boat, I am looking for a low mount to sit on top of an FN PS90. I'm considering the Aimpoint mount, but I see that LaRue offers the Comp M2 RAS II Mount QD LT-152 mount which sits 1/2" lower than their standard mount.

Any idea how this compares to the Aimpoint mount height wise?

Aimpoints lowest mount puts the bottom of the scope 1/4" above the rails. It's wide and tough.
