Bump,
Another guy here looking at forward mounting options. I really like Midwest Industries scout style mounts, but they are specific to the optic(ie Aimpoint micro, doc optics, RMR, etc...) I like the idea of switching to a scout scope if the mood hits... so a non dedicated rail is preferred, though a micro and that mount is a kick ass setup......
In any case, anyone done a full comparison between the m14.ca mount and the Ultimak?
I've exchanged emails with the guy that runs m14.ca, the mount looks nice, but at about $40-$50 more than I can get the Ultimak M8 for when it may just be the same thing in essence....
The .ca one has one less band, but the last band is wide, so pretty much the same contact, surface area for heat dispersion is likely similar, height is the same as with a low mounted aimpoint you can co-witness.....
Anyone use both and can comment/input?
ETA - H20 has pics of the M14.CA mount and the ultimak, here is a pic of the MI scout mount.
