Has anyone ever used this scope mount?  It's listed at Fulton Armory for $109.00 Fulton Armory M1 Garand parts |

That looks an awful lot like how S&K rings mount. If it is, I can bet it would be a solid mount though I've never used one. I do like their other mounts. Look familiar? $101 for weaver style and $123 for S&K style on their site. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a253/mikemcgeek/m1garand.jpg |

The one that Fulton sells is the S&K mount. I've got one, works well. Rock solid. Two things to be aware of: 1) It raises the scope a goodly amount and you're going to need a cheek rest. The one I like best is the BlackHawk lace-on cheek rest; but something else may work better for you; 2) Make sure that you get a scope that either has very low windage knobs, or a scope that can be turned 90 degrees left where the reticle still works (like a mil-dot reticle). If the knob sticks out too far, the ejected brass will hit it, and (more importantly) it will interfere with the ejection and insertion of the en-bloc clip. I've got--and used--both the S&K mount and the B-Square mount. I personally like the B-Square better; but it doesn't have a replacement rear sight aperture. However, I'm more short and stocky, and the B-Square is a little lower and further to the left than the S&K. If you're more of a tall person with a long neck, I'd go with the S&K mount. With either mount, the above info (about the cheek rest and scope) still applies. Just to make it clear, though--both the S&K and the B-Square are outstanding mounts and are rock solid. I like 'em both. For ME, though, the B-Square has the edge. Others who have a different body-type would like the S&K mount better. If you have a C&R license, order it from Brownell's--you'll get a much better price. If I remember right, mine was around $80. S&K mount with Leupold VX-1 3-9x40 and Warne quick-detach rings:  B-Square mount, Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40 with mil-dot reticle and Warne quick-detach rings:   Hope it helps. |
