I find it somewhat unlikely that folks buying 1k optics (USO, IOR) are putting them in that mount but who's to say.
I have to agree! The more likely culprit may be Falcon but I suspect there are other issues surrounding this redesign, such as legal risk.

For a few dollars more, I would get the Nikon M223 single piece mount LONG before that PEPR...but now that I ETA...I am not sure if the M223 is 30MM or 1" like you can get that PEPR.
The M223 looks decent but two things I don't like are that it only comes in 1" and it has a 20MOA cant. Most quality scopes use a 30mm tube while lesser expensive scopes are generally 1". A 20MOA cant is not neccissary for lower powered scopes, such as the very popular 1-4x since most guys won't be shooting very long range with a low powered optic. To have a scope mount geared towards the lower end of the scope market and price it at $100 seems like a poor decision. Aside from an LT mount, I can't see myself paying 40-70% of the scope for a mount.
Another thing that I like about the SSALT, aside from the cost, is the fact that it does not include those ugly, useless, tacticool-looking railed ring caps.
