[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What's the best M-14 scope mount avaiable?

Posted: 6/19/2001 9:37:10 PM EDT

I'm looking for a mount for my rifle. I don't want those cheap $40 ones that twist on.

What I want is one that has a zero hold, is securley attached, can let you use the original sighths and is at a fair price. (around $100?)

I've seen this one on a w/s that's supposedly one of the best. It's good but I don't know for sure. It's around $200. A bit expensive, but if its worth it, I'll spend the money.Anyone here ever use it?

Second one down. The m14/m21 scope mount.

Everyone including the Fulton Armory people say the Brookfield Precision mount is the best. The Entreprise ad looks like it BUT, I know a guy that bought a "tactical 2- made in america" mount and rings for his PSS from them and found a "Made in Russia" sticker on the base. Just make sure it is a REAL BP otherwise tell them to take a flying leap.

You probubly will not be able to find one. Everyone it seems is sold out of them right now.

Fulton Armory might have them, but the BP are in very high demand from what I understand. There was something like a 1 year wait the last time the existing stock was exhausted.

Sh*t! A 1yr wait?

So I assume that they are that good?

noname has some good suggestions.
A while back, the 82nd airborn was using the ARMS #18. Guess this way they could switch back and forth to night vision etc.etc.
I've heard good things about the Mc Cann, but havent used one myself.

Like Imbrog said, the Brookfield Precision seems to be difficult to locate. If I wanted one now, I would go with the ARMS. Some say it's just as good.

Here is one I have on auction right now. I traded an actual SA scope mount and this thing is identical to it.

Brookfield Precision Tool manufactures heavy oil field equipment. They did a few runs of scope mounts, stock liners and op rod spring guides for AMU specifically for the M25 during it's development. Some of the overruns reached civilian markets. I just saw one yesterday, I think on Sniper Country emporium. They are pricey but nice. Smith Enterprises mount looks like a good substitute. Use Burris Zee rings (ala USMC) and a light scope to reduce unsprung weight above the receiver.

Rumor has it that BPT may crank up another run but I wouldn't hold my breath.

ARMS #18. It's rock-solid. Finish was an excellent match to my receiver. It was easy to mount with the exception of drifting out the pin on my original clip guide. (I didn't have the right sized punch I needed.)
Got mine at Sableco.
